A Mom Posts a Disturbing Video of Her Son Being Paddled at School

[I Push Buttons]

Spare the rod, spoil the child.

I went to a Catholic school that did paddling and smacking with the ruler. Guess what? We all behaved. All it took was for it to happen to you once and you learned.

I still believe if parents would spank their children we wouldn't be seeing all these stupid overly liberal collage protest from spoiled pampered brats.

I am a stoopid librul and I got spanked all the time.

How does jail time for truancy when the kid is actually suspended make any sense?

The idea and thought process is that the parents are responsible for making sure their children are in school. If the parents are allowing their child to constantly skip school then it can be viewed as the parents denying the child an education and/or wasting the time and money of the school/state to help the child catch up to his classmates as the child has missed multiple lessons and assignments. So there for as punishment to the parent is jail as that will help them understand that there is consequences for their actions.

One day in jail and I bet you'll make sure your child is at school for the rest of the year.

But you "don't allow the child to skip school" if the child is suspended.

In this case the parent would have. She was given a choice, spanking or suspension. By choosing suspension she would be taking the child out of school.

The only thing disturbing about this is if you would change it to a female student and male teachers and a dad you'd have 3 people in jail faster than you could file the charges.

Well, you know what sexual fetish this kid will end up with

I went to a school with no paddling or corporal punishment. We all behaved. Woaaaah.

What great values to instill - that violence is an acceptable solution. Violence begets violence.

[Grimreaper]

All they will learn is: if they do this, they will suffer. It doesn't teach them anything about morals, about WHY it is wrong to do something. It just tells them: either don't do that, or you will suffer.

A proper teaching, I think, should let the kid understand WHY doing something is wrong - and then that kid won't want to do it in the first place, without any threats. It is a healthier approach.

Kids are often too stupid to understand the WHY, no matter how well you explain it to them. Sometimes, on a rare occasion, they need physical punishment, because it's the only way to show them WHY they shouldnt do whatever they did. All kids are different ofcourse, so you cant say stupid shit like "all kids needs physical punishment" or "no kids need physical punishment". It doesnt work like that. You cannot have strict rules on how to raise a child.

That seems to apply to a lot of adults I see.

But it's the school that would not allow the child in regardless of her, or even the child's, say on the matter.

They'll make a great addition to North Korea or Saudi Arabia.

"they told me if he could not get a paddling he would have to be suspended"
Okay, that's somewhat reasonable.
"and if he got suspended for even one day I WILL go to jail for truancy..."
I'm sorry what?!

Threatening her with jail time for not letting them beat her child? The hell?!

Typical school trying to scare parent into cooperating BS most likely.

Someone needed to "beat" the kid or the parent, maybe both.

[Nigel Tufnel]

Absolute barbarians.

I promise you - if anyone ever tried to do that to one of my kids (regardless of her/his indiscipline) I would fucking bury them.

My children behave well because I've brought them up with love, respect and reasonable discipline - not through the threat of violence. I've never had any account to abuse them in this way.

An inexcusable abuse of authority.

I was expecting worse.

I received worse when I did stupid shit as a kid. Sometimes it's the only way a kid can understand. Punishment.
I didn't grow up violent, or psychopath. I grew up understanding that actions have consequences, and those consequences can hurt me.

The only problem I have with this video, is that only the parents should have the right to punish their kids in a minor physical way. No one else.

Ssh anecdotal evidence is only acceptable when its in favor of non corporal punishment.

OK - some kind of punishment, yep ---- but two adults, talking calmly while physically restraining and attempting to beat a hysterical four year old child in front of his mum? Complete madness. It's the stuff of nightmares.

Give me some non-anecdotal evidence in favour of corporal punishment, then.

[Sam the Wiser]

I watched the whole video and I didn't even see when this child was even hit.
