[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 634925, member: 1550"] Janet, I'm pretty sure pulling down pants and using a switch doesn't count as a simple spanking. I really don't care if parents swat a two year old on a padded butt for almost running into traffic (if the child is too young to understand). Using weapons and pulling down pants will get you an abuse call if you are caught. One day at a grocery store my husband saw a woman slap her child across the face. He is ten years military and no softie, but he walked up to her and told her to stop it, that it was abuse and that she's lucky he wasn't calling CPS or the cops on her. You don't use a tool to slap bare skin or ever touch a child that way around the face/head. I hope one day we outgrow the practice of spanking, period. Spanking too easily leads to beating, which is what Adrian Peterson did. Do I think it a kid is spanked on his clothed butt he will become a monster. Nope. Do I think it is a useful punishment? Nope. No evidence it is. Do I think the beating that Adrian Peterson gave his son is abuse? Yes, I would agree with the Judge and the doctor. Janet, I am sure you have never done that to your boys. You love them too much. I understand that you are not talking about what Peterson did. I think people who have had it happen to them think it is more normal than those who did not. I have extremely verbally abusive parents, but they didn't hit me. Therefore, I act and think like an abused person, but I don't think and never did think of hitting my kids as a good option to reign in behavior. Heck, once kids get older many of them will slap you right back. But, Janet, your kids adore you. I know you are not an abusive parent :) This is not about you. [/QUOTE]
