So it's ok to slep your toddler round the face as long as you don't mark him ?

I find a good poke in the eye a useful tactic, shuts them up and doesn't leave a mark.

I have found that an electronic cattle prod also works well...

Parents should be able to smack their children as long as it's not so hard it will cause damage to the child.

I've been smacked when I was little and the shock more than anything was enough to tell me what I did was wrong and believe me, I didn't do it again.

But then the children, just as much as their parents really are something else down that mutant mile so reason wouldn't really apply…

This incident sounds from the report that the woman behaved badly, and is a bully.

However, in general terms, any onlooker who cannot tell the difference between a parent physically chastising their child for discipline purposes, and child beating, (as this case purports to be) has a problem.
Other animals firmly cuff their offspring when they get out of hand, and humans are animals. The do-gooders of this world have a lot to answer for the undisciplined behaviour of both modern children and young adults.

I've got two children. Do you know the amount of times I've needed to hit them?

Anyone that hits a child is a piece of ****. All you're doing is teaching a child it's acceptable to use violence and physical force to solve problems or get what they want.

It's lazy, bullying parenting. Go read a book or speak to anyone who knows the first thing about raising children.

Half you people complain that somethings wrong with the youth of today. Judging by the opinions of some of you, it's no wonder. Hey maybe the kids just weren't smacked enough?

I disagree. I think it turned you into a braindead gobshite who perpetuates outdated, barbaric attitudes on local news websites.

You mean the Mutant Mile? Although the Jeremy Kyle Mile has a certain ring to it

Yeah, because that would've solved the worlds problems.

Sounds like you've all had more than a few brain cells beaten out of you.

Just carry on beating children everyone! No, it's fine because you obviously all know best. Every time you beat your kids. I hope a massive bloke, lets say a bouncer gives you a smack as well. That's only fair surely? As long as he's decided you deserve it then its fine right? Well guess what? The woman in the article believed her little one "deserved" it too. Her own little baby for fuČks sake. If you think your kids deserve a smack, these are the things you're doing wrong: 1. You are raising your child to believe violence is ok. 2. You are raising your child to believe violence committed by someone much bigger, stronger and in a position of power over someone smaller and weaker is ok. 3. You actually want to and are prepared to inflict physical pain on a child. Your own child at that. 4. You're too lazy to bring up your child the hard way. By being a kind, attentive parent and using discipline by explaining why their behaviour is wrong. Rewarding good behaviour by positive reinforcement is regarded by EXPERTS i.e people who have the first fuČking clue what they are talking about, to be far more effective in modifying behaviour. There's a reason attitudes are changing. Just look at all the things we're leaving behind. The attitudes and opinions of your grandparents. Were they right just because that's the way things were done in the old days? Racism, Sexism, Beating children, smoking yourself to death. No, we're leaving all that behind for a reason. Things were worse in the old days. We've never had it so good. But no, you all carry in looking back wistfully on a time where you could beat children without being judged. Just stop passing down your dark aged beliefs on the next generation, and so on, and so on. You are the reason you see the youth of today as being out of control. Because nobody gives a fuČk about them, and everybody believes that the best solution is a good beating. and you all sit wallowing in your own ignorance and congratulating yourselves about it. FUČK YOU ALL.
