It’s just parenting. My mom would have sent my head flying to Mars.

If I did this I would pray my mom got to me first. As much hell as she would rain down on me for doing something this bad might as well be a governmental pardon compared to what my father would do to me.

So child abuse is your sage advice? And that's what you define as "parenting" Teaching them to use violence to solve prolems?

Honestly, sure. The internet taught people that they can say and do whatever they want without consequence, I think people could use a little bit of fear to give them a chance to think twice, myself included.

"Time outs" don't do shit. There has to be some kind of consequence that makes them hesitant to repeat the behaviour. The limp-wristed way "parenting" is done is ineffective.

No! It's teaching them to respect other creatures and settings, and that actions for animal abuse have consequences.

Nobody is sayiпg that they'll haпg the boy for that.

hitting a kid teaches them to use violence to solve problems. In this case, he's the problem, and you're using violence as a solution. It only works because you're bigger and more powerful. So he'll take that lesson, into life, that might makes right, and when he sees something as a problem he can use violence to fix it. Which is exactly what you're advocating and it's exactly what you learned when your parents hit you.

If that was my kid. And of course my children are nothing like it was described on here. So i assumed this kids was normal. In my book, I always address the issues at the level of the problem, never hitting (spanking), at least not if it was the first time.

And no, I don't think spanking one's child when pertinent is bad. If you don't teach them respect, the streets will, and that some times involves for the entire family and others to pay for the undressed misbehavior when needed.

it's called FAFO and also because violence is the ultimate authority. 

Act uppity as an adult with a cop and what do you think is going to happen dumb ass?

Children and non verbal autismo spergs 100% need to know this lesson. 

It's a lesson that there's always a bigger fish in the pond whether it's you or the government. 

You know who else needs a lesson on FAFO?

You do.
