[QUOTE="SRL, post: 35248, member: 701"] Ongoing spanking in a child of this age might produce a short term result but will in the end produce a very angry child. I also had a parent who thought they could get results using physical punishment and when I got old enough and strong enough I started fighting back. I seriously have my doubts that a parent could be administering a physical punishment to a child of this age without anger which only escalates things. You really have very little in the way of choices with this one. Son is living with ex and ex isn't going to change his stripes because of your input. You can bring him back to live with you, you can live with the knowledge of it and be unhappy, you can report him to CPS, or you could suggest that son take up the issue with his counselor who in most states would be legally required to report abuse or maltreatment. Does dad participate in family counseling? Are you present for those sessions? [/QUOTE]
