I have never had children but would be in big trouble for treating my horses like that. He's a judge?
Yahoo is showcasing this story..a father whipping his 16 year old daughter for illegally pirating media from the internet...although they actually say he's beating his child. The media portrays this as child abuse, citing some doctor from a university saying that whippings using objects such as belts are usually deemed beyond normal physical punishment.
Personally, I got worse whippings than this just for smarting off. And just for the record, belts don't hurt as bad as hickory limbs... just thought I'd see if anyone else ever got whipped]
The whipping was because she basically illegally downloaded music files.
First I want to make the observation that bootlegging is possibly a worse offense in a judges house than mine.My grandmothers liked switches,that you cut for them and brought to them.My dad was fond of his frat paddle from college.Had ATO tatooed across my but many times
.
I believe the guy stepped out of line simply because he delivered it while emotional and angry to be effectively it must be done calmly and clinically.Also before critisizing him too stongly we need to look at history.How often did this happen?WHY?(why being a very big Q,seen my girlfriends son get it over something seemingly small,but it was the straw that broke the camels back,and based on constant BAD,horrible,behavior and he had been pushing it as hard as he could for weeks cuz he had the I'm in highschool you cant spank me anymore )
A few weeks ago my oldest son,who will be 15 this weekend,told me he still remembered the spanking he got when he got caught on the bed with the SKS on his lap fondling it.I lit that behind up.He was only 3 or so.Not only does he remember it hes safer with firearms than most adults,doesnt touch them without permission,is allowed high volume target practice,and hasnt had to have a whipping in YEARS.He's a darn good kid,andunderstands that if all else fails,there is the final option.Consequenses are real,learn it now or regret it later.
I grew up with whippings and a hell of a lot of hollering.Swore I wouldnt raise mine that way and I didnt.They are in there twenties now ,independent and successful.They have far better attitudes than I do.The guy is an ***.If you have to resort to whippings and hollerin to get a kid to do whats right,you aint too bright.

My dad whipped me with a belt when I was growing up. I deserved it.
He always made me sit in a closed room for an hour, then came in and explained what I did wrong and asked me if I understood why I was being disciplined.
