he was not sleep walking
baloney, I was never belted in my life I could count on one hand the number of times I was spanked...actually I couldn't, I don't remember get smacked...why is it necessary to smack a kid? why? if someone knows what they are doing and does their job properly as a parent violence in the home is completely unnecessary...frustration is what leads to smacking...maybe take a parenting course for fuk sake
if someone is completely unable to figure out how to adjust their child's behaviour I guess a smack here and there is okay, each child's temperament is different I'll give in that far. but it has nothing to do with being a liberal nutbar unless of course liberal nut bars can just figure things out better than non liberal nutbars
Eight Reasons to Spank your child..
1. Love.
You have to love your child enough to be tough and do what is necessary to get the desired result. Parent first, friend second.
2. You want to be respected.
To be feared (in the sense of reverence) is to be respected. Your children should be weary of going against your rules. It also teaches them to submit to authority regardless of whether or not they agree.
3. You want to teach them how to make good decisions.
Our destinies are determined by decision-making. Children have the option to obey or face the consequences, and they need to know consequences hurt.
4. You want them to have self-control.
When you are aware of what is on the other side of making a poor decision, it is easier to exercise restraint.
5. You want them to be accountable.
Every decision has an outcome, good or bad. Just as your reward your child for the good, you must also acknowledge and address the bad.
6. You want to set standards.
Children need limits to learn how to grow up with restraint. They will never be able to do whatever they want. Teach them to live by the rules set in place.
7. You see strength not weakness.
Western parents seem to assume fragility rather than strength. Spanking your child properly is not going to damage their self-esteem. Accepting mediocrity and dismissing poor behavior teaches them to indulge in being weak.
8. It works best.
Some kids need it, period. When time-out, talking and taking away toys doesn’t work, you have to get that butt.
By the sound of it Sal, you're long over due for a spanking..

Kelly Scott Hilbert, 40, was sentenced to six months in jail
Why did the judge only give this guy 6 months and 2 years probation.. The poor child is now brain damaged for life..
The father claims it was an accident.. who knows.. great cover story to save his butt.
He already covered up the accident once. This is a second version.
The bastard should have gotten at least 10 years minimum, if not more.. Friggin Canadian justice system.
