An irrational beating, justified, or lulz?

The physical I can see going either way. Personally I’ve had worse, and not really gave a damn about the beating. I don’t think the physical is anywhere nearly as scarring as the verbal. When your parents say shit like that to you, it stays with you much much longer than the sting of a belt.

Parents beat their children when they are angry. When people are angry they say stupid shit. My opinion is beat your kids, but shut the fuck up while you do it. After you’ve gotten your licks in and calmed down, then you can explain or apologize or whatever you need to say.

I’m not saying the parents should use the same method of punishment, all I’m saying is the parents shouldn’t be allowed to exceed the boundaries of punishment the law has
Either make it legal for everyone to punish people via the “Career Enabler”, or make it illegal for everyone to punish people via the “Career Enabler”. Double standards are bullshit

ill bite…

Heres what im thinking how this plays out…

Girl records her room every night.
Posts video of dad beating her with a belt years later.
Tells dad to give her lots of money or she releases videos of him telling her to “bend over the bed” for other reasons.
???
Profit.

You may also switch 2 and 3 around, dont know the timeline there.

Rule no.1 on SRK: Assume every member is black.

I want to hear about your “No spanking” punishment. Tell me more.

according to her deviantart page shes a sonic furry.

Her dad probably saw the sonic fanfic she left open and went to town. Beating justified.

You know, the whole “physical punishment to discipline children” argument can easily go both ways.

On one hand, people have been physically disciplined have either turned out to well-behaved individuals or people with serious emotional and psychological issues.
On the other hand, people have haven’t been physically disciplined have either turned out to be well-behaved individuals (like me, thankfully) or people with little regard for life since they believe they can get away with anything they want.

It’s really a case-by-case basis. There is no “one” correct way to raise a child, and each child is different.

That said, the father went overboard for resorting to physical punishment on such a small issue. Considering he’s a judge, I’m afraid to see what kind of punishments he gave out over the cases he presided. They were probably extremely harsh.

You’re kidding, right?
Take away her computer, take away her phone, don’t let her leave the house for a while. There are so many different (and superior) options.
Its ridiculous that people still think spanking is effective.
Fuck, I’d rather be spanked 12 times a day for two weeks than to have all my fun shit taken away for two weeks. I don’t give a shit about my ass hurting, I’ll get over it in about 20 minutes. But sitting there for 8 hours with nothing to do but sit and stare at the wall is fucking horrible. I’d imagine its pretty much universally agreed it is much more effective in getting your point across as well.

This dude is actually facing charges of Child Abuse.

The Whooping only lasted 40 seconds.

What’s stopping you from taking your shit back from your parent after they take it away?

How much of this pro-beating shit is because people are convinced that the people of the past had no problems and that people now are way more fucked up than they used to be?

Hopefully a modicum of intelligence.

haven’t read all the thread yet, but this beating is rational and justified because i can’t orgasm to normal porn anymore.

that’s just me though.

Is this a joke?

They going to take away something else? Kick you out the house?

Explain what’s stopping a kid from taking it back.

let me see
when they took my tv, i went to my friends house to watch it, or hided somewhere in their room to take it again and put it back before they returned to home, also i learned how to disarm the doors and put them back, if i wasnt able to leave my room, i sneaked out through the ceiling, and that is just 2 of many creative ways that i learned to avoid those “superior” punishments

Hell if I know. What’s stopping the kid from burning down the house and stealing the car? Jack shit. Welcome to the heart of darkness.

The beating I give him for thinking those things, that’s what.

Arguing in extremes is adorable though.

I’ve now changed my mind about all of this.

The only thing the father did wrong was to stop hitting her.

What’s to stop him from coming into your room at night and setting your nuts on fire in retaliation for that beating?

Another beating and charges for attempted murder.

Probably fear. Not saying it’s the best strategy or anything.

Hell, kids have retaliated like that when their punishments were just getting their video game systems taken away.
