Corporal punishment remains legal, especially in the South. It still has its defenders. But the costs can be steep.
Isn’t it wild how people understand that using physical violence against another adult is bad, but then will still proudly use physical violence against the most vulnerable members of our society?
Too many folks still firmly believe either:
A) “spare the rod and spoil the child”
B) I was spanked as a kid and I turned out ok, so it’s fineTo the second group, I always want to say, “No you didn’t. You turned out as someone who thinks hitting kids is acceptable.”
Very true. I also find that that group B also includes many people who think violence in general is fine. Physical violence, social violence, even sexual violence. Abuse messes people up.
Exactly
Remember who hit you kids… you won’t be small forever. :)
