Author	Topic: Give the Scale of Child Abuse National Attention
pinkfairy unregistered	posted January 23, 2006 11:45 AM I am a parent who has never smacked his children and who raised them with strong guidance no need for me to slap cowards way out !! IP: Logged
LibraSparkle unregistered	posted January 23, 2006 11:47 AM Oh... and P.S. In response to your question about what I would say if my child came home from school after having hit someone... I would ask, "Why?" If they were defending them-self, I couldn't be too disappointed. We would take about the problem, how it came about, and how to better handle it the next time. That would be the end of it. If I found they were the one who launched the attack, I would certainly be disappointed. There would be grounding, writing sentences, and probably some kind of community service involved in their consequence. If you will kindly scroll up and read my previous post, I have said that I don't believe my school aged children benefit from swatting anymore because they are too old. Their consequences must be much more creative now than they needed to be when they were two. No one has suggested we run about, willy nilly, slapping our children. IP: Logged
pinkfairy unregistered	posted January 23, 2006 11:49 AM O no one answered my question about if their child strikes another and it being acceptable or not ??? Much to learn cornflakes and Miss. Libra you sound very angry and as tho slapping is the only form of discipline it is not !! IP: Logged
pinkfairy unregistered	posted January 23, 2006 11:50 AM O Thanks Ms Libra for the answer I do hope you find an alternative way than to slap really i do !! IP: Logged
pinkfairy unregistered	posted January 23, 2006 11:50 AM O too old to swat like one would a fly so a two year old is of the right age to strike oh dear god that makes me feel quite sick how would you feel if a person two or three times the size of you reached down and swatted you O dear !!!

LibraSparkle unregistered	posted January 23, 2006 11:54 AM I'm not angry... and I don't slap my kids. Do you actually read the posts you respond to? I really wonder if you do... considering the fact that I have (now, more than once) stated that it is important to find creative ways of disciplining my kids that doesn't involve spanking. I think what you are sensing is the fact that I have had my fill of your hippie, crystal grabbin' garbage. IP: Logged
pinkfairy unregistered	posted January 23, 2006 11:59 AM O And you dear lady are very angry I have certainly touched a nerve havent I Maybe you need a bit of a swat Case closed Iron lady indeed mmm our own Mrs T was a lovely Libra was she not !! IP: Logged
LibraSparkle unregistered	posted January 23, 2006 04:46 PM bares her fanny for Pink Fairy Swat away, my dear. I like it. ... and as for striking a nerve, you are partially right. While you haven't hit a specific nerve, as you think, you do seem to have a general impact on my nerves. IP: Logged
TINK unregistered	posted January 23, 2006 06:31 PM Do forgive me for pointing out your error, pink. Nevertheless, accusing someone of possessing "deaf, unkind and cynical ears" simply because they have calmly and rationally disagreed with you seems rather ... dare I say it? ... judgmental, intolerant and just plain mean. Now what was it you were just saying about people not liking being called names and common decency and all that nice stuff? IP: Logged
pinkfairy unregistered	posted January 23, 2006 07:04 PM O I hope you dont dare to bare your fanny that would be positively pornographic it means lady garden where I hail from and Tink sorry I HAVE been a little naughty sorry Cornflakes bends over for a smack on the bottie love and peace is Pinky to be forgiven? IP: Logged
LibraSparkle unregistered	posted January 24, 2006 12:09 AM Well, I'm glad to see that you realize you need a good swat too. This should suit the situation nicely: Bend over, deary... IP: Logged
pinkfairy unregistered	posted January 24, 2006 03:37 AM O my pleasure sparkly not too hard now thankyou !! IP: Logged
ScotScorp unregistered	posted January 24, 2006 03:04 PM Mr. Pink? You need ANOTHER spanking? I think your posts are just asking for it. And, btw, just for the record. Did you stay home and raise your children, did the wife, or did child care? IP: Logged
pinkfairy unregistered	posted January 24, 2006 03:45 PM O spanking indeed childrearing was done together as I always worked from home would not have created them to be raised by others !! lots of love in the home no slaps !! IP: Logged
Mystic Gemini unregistered	posted January 24, 2006 09:52 PM A little girl was beaten to death by her step father the other day. They reported it but no one would repsond. She was about 9 years old. Her mom stood there and did nothing. He was hitting her brother also. They had a big funeral for her. Lots of people went from all over the city to pay theie respects to her. They say her social worker was crying crocodile tears. She never reported it. How sad. IP: Logged
maklhouf unregistered	posted January 25, 2006 08:37 AM This is a much bigger subject than appears at first sight. Not to go into all the permutations, but I think that more harm is done to children in a no-smacking climate because their parents try to find ways of hurting them that won't show on the outside, but lead to greater internal damage. ------------------ And I will give thee the treasures of darkness Isiah 45:3 IP: Logged
TINK unregistered	posted January 25, 2006 10:44 AM Very true. With the obvious exception of extreme situations like the one MG just posted, I'd take some degree of physical abuse over emotional/mental abuse anyday. I understand that physical abuse by nature is emotional abuse too. Honestly, I don't often remember but a handful of incidents of physical abuse from my father. The emotional abuse has proven significantly harder to overcome. Complaining about emotional abuse sounds whiney and weak, doesn't it? It's much easier to complain of a broken bone or black eye. Psychological effects burrow deeper though. But it might be different for other people. "permutation" is a sadly underused word. IP: Logged
pinkfairy unregistered	posted January 28, 2006 05:21 AM O How very sad indeed Mystic Gemini I am still mystified as to why it is an offence to slap an adult and yet it is not considered so to strike a child its as though children do not count !! disgraceful really no excuse and hitting is as bad as verbal abuse they are all as cruel and wounding O IP: Logged

pinkfairy unregistered	posted February 01, 2006 05:04 PM Not addressing the issue sweet ladies... Remember why is it okay to strike a child and not an adult Proxieme a tad too sarcastic maybe to be funny sigh IP: Logged
LibraSparkle unregistered	posted February 01, 2006 08:37 PM I thought it was just sarcastic enough to be funny. IP: Logged
WaterNymph unregistered	posted February 08, 2006 05:31 AM I�ve seen mothers hit their children in the street Every parent can raise their child the way they want. Personally I could never hit a child. I don�t understand - it�s ok to hit a child but not an animal? We don�t hit our dog - and we don�t hit our children IP: Logged
