Because that is what this thread became long ago.

She did not say ""beat"" in fact it's rather impossible to ""beat"" a person with a switch.

Beat or hit..just semantics. It's still child abuse and wrong in any situation, whatsoever. I give no one a reason to justify this.

<br /> Well History did not repeat itself with my son..............he was given time out which did nothing I should have gotten a switch and switched his legs.....his dad used a belt and I used time out and guess what he says I AM A FABULOUS MOTHER BUT BAD PARENT AND THAT HIS DAD IS NOT A GOOD DAD BUT A GREAT PARENT BECAUSE HIS DAD SPANKED HIM..........go figure..............

Your son who refuses to speak to you says you are a fabulous mother?

He said I was a fabulous mother but bad parent. I don't understand that.

You're so wrong. Several of us here saw the photo of wounds from a switch, including open cuts. It's a child abuse offence. To strike a person "repeatedly and violently so as to hurt or injure them"

beat

bet/

verb: beat; 3rd person present: beats; past tense: beat; gerund or present participle: beating; past participle: beaten

1. 1.

   strike (a person or an animal) repeatedly and violently so as to hurt or injure them, usually with an implement such as a club or whip.

Really, you are getting up set because in the late 70's and early 80's I would use a switch on my brothers legs to get them to mind........but it was not all the time and they never had scars......it just stings a little and they are find young men now. They spank their children........sorry if you think spanking your child gentle is child abuse........I disagree..............this is out of control............so I guess you ladies are perfect and never got a spanking growing up. No wonder there are so many brats here that post.

I'm sorry your brother-in-law passed. I think it was good that you went to the memorial. It is getting late so I won't say much but will get back to you tomorrow. Take care RRR you know I think about you a lot and wish the best for you.

Inflicting pain on another human being is abuse. I was spanked frequently and it was painful and frightening. Just because I believe physical assault is wrong doesn't make me a "brat".
