In California?

Should kids be spanked?

On a side note: Do Skymama spanks hurt?

Spanked? If necessary.

Beaten? No.

I have no experience in that, so I can't answer the question.

Seems that California "adults" should be spanked first. How else will they learn?

Kids? Only when they've broken some very specific rules and the usual stuff doesn't work. Completely up to the parents and nobody else.

sometimes kids need to be spanked. spankings aren't very effective with my oldest child, so he doesn't get many of them. they seem to be most effective as a quick swat on the butt on the way to a timeout, but if they were more effective than timeouts, then i would use them more. i was spanked with a switch as a child and went to my room many times with welts on the back of my legs. that will not happen to my child.

Heard it on the radio this morning on the way to work. Ridiculous.

I was hardly ever spanked. However, according to my parents, my younger brother was spanked almost every morning (he would misbehave every morning until he got his spanking). I wonder if that developed into a fetish?

Do you remember when there were two dads that got in a huge fight hitting eachother at a little league game? Well, they should have been hitting the kids, the kids are the ones that lost the game!

Ok, I stole that joke from The Onion, if you haven't read that paper, then you should look it up.

Agreed 100%

Children needs boundries and discipline. Spanking doesnt work for all children and other forms of discipline doesnt work for all children. As a mom of 4, all of my kids get spankings, its never out of anger and they always know why.

what the government wants to control this too? It should be up to the parents. I'm for it if it works to correct the childs behavior.

Playtime is essential.

If the kid(s) are raised properly, then you shouldn't have to worry about "spanking". I'm not saying that spanking is wrong when warranted. I am saying spanking does show violence. If you want a kid to grow up thinking violence is okay, then by all means...spank away.

As an adult...I love to be spanked!!

If I stand on my tip toes, I can see the weekend from here!

I disagree with the premise of "if you have to spank, then you aren't raising your kids properly" - there are some kids that don't or won't respond to other measures.

Spanking isn't going to show a kid that "violence is okay". Not teaching them the difference between punishment and violence? That's a failure in parenting.

Like I said, I don't think spanking is wrong when warranted. But I do think it needs to be the VERY last resort.

Time after time we all see parents "spanking" out of frustration instead of a true way to discipline. Parents spank the child and then follow it with a certain punishment (like no computer for a week) but never follow through with the punishment.

All I am saying is if you are going to discipline a child with spanking; spank, discipline and make sure you follow through. Don't leave it at just the spanking. This to me shows that its okay to be violent.

Your revised post, I agree with - thanks for clarifying.

Personally I don't agree with spanking children, but I'm not sure if I would support a law against it.

And I doubt that this law will be passed.

I have 6 children and I don't have to spank any of them. They know not to fuck up or to stop doing whatever they are doing by the way I look at them. If they need punished for something I come up with creative ways to get the point across. I will spank them and they know it, but they have to really really do something bad. I agree with whoever wrote that some "adults" need to be spanked along with politicians for constantly putting their face in private family matters.

Maybe if more people spanked or showed any kind of parental control over their little snot nosed brats we wouldn't have the shcool shootings, the gangs, and all the bullshit that goes on in schools now. I have heard kids telling their parents what they are or are not going to do....I would face punch one of mine for talking shit like that to me.

When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before
