Is this child abuse?

Maybe that was the 1st step in changing that boy's life!

Remember the Oingo Boingo song "Only a Lad!"

What he will have to understand is that as young men, our lives are under siege. He was yelling back and forth like a lady typically would and since the family unit has been broken as a legit structure, men aren't telling young boys how to respect the physicality of what men are and how easily a 40 year old man can beat a 11 year old kid. Even if physical aspects diminish, i can simply out muscle you

He was very slick like women do.
He was very aggressive like women typically can be.
He was very delusional in his approach to this man like women typically are

So as a result he was disciplined. His cries however wasn't warranted for the situation. He has a lot of personal pain he needs to sort out. Probably as a result of feminism

Went from a little Billy Badass to a crying b itch real quick

You speak based on perspective and I respect that.. I speak based on experience and the daily reality I live with.. I don't beat my daughter but I wish she listened to my wife and me without being threatened of consequences.. I was a disciplined kid and feared my parents's wrath but I am not that extreme with my own kid

thankfully, most parents arent extreme when it comes to corporal punishment. i dont doubt yours or anyones parenting ability unless they feel beatings are the answer. its too easy to give into that anger and go overboard, assuming those little bodies can take it.

saying sorry or oops at that moment.....laughable.

i was also brought up the ol school way....less talking, more swatting. anything within reach is fair game

tbh, i dont know if im better off for it or not. what i do know is i didnt deserve the level of beatings i got.

Kid had it coming.
He assaulted the dude then cried when he got shoved.
Damm some of these kids nowdays keep shivs and who knows whatever else on them.
I wouldnt of shoved him i would of smacked his ass pink.

here to ruin the ''mature giant should beat up on mentally unstable kids/midgets'' party

9x10, talking to MENTALLY STABLE kids is the best option. beating them up is only an outlet for the frustrated ''parent''.

if the kid is loony tunes, they need to be in a place where hitting isnt an option. where professional care givers can take over.

kids acting out is usually indicative of bad parenting (not teaching kids the meaning of 'NO' ).

if they arent your kids, brush them aside and keep it moving.

bottom line, if the kid was the same size and weight as the parent.....i highly doubt there would be many beatings, if any.

Size and weight have nothing to do with mentality. Some people get the fight beat out of them. Sounds like your one of those victims. Its made you over sensitive in my opinion. That kid needed a beating. Pure and simple.

temporarily true about size/weight. soon that kid will realize the spankings dont hurt, thus, making ''parent'' try harder....kid then maybe hits back ???

if a ''parents'' only way of disciplining their kid is through violence, that person shouldnt have been a parent.

mho

I agree if a parents only recourse is to beat their kid then they definitely shouldn't be parents. My boys don't get spanked after they hit 7. Once they get around that age if you can't explain things to your kids then the parent has issues. I have one that is 9 years old and is already my weight. The other one is 5. He still gets a whooping on that backside if he acts up.

Having kids is one of the easiest things in the world to do however being a good father is one of the toughest jobs I've ever had.

Sorry to hear you had it rough. I had tough parents as well but after I had kids I learned to forgive them for their mistakes. There is no absolute rule book when raising kids and so I figured my parents did the best they could by me. Even so I swore that I would do it better.


Still no excuse for a child to be in the streets acting like that. You can't hold someone accountable for getting fed up when your kid is assaulting someone. If I had been in the man's shoes I would have rolled the dice on the child abuse charges just so I could see that kid get put into a home. His parents seriously have no positive influence in his life.

you sound like a reasonable parent. not enough like you. and still, as good as parents can be, some kids are just born bad. i think this peewee fits the bill.

maybe his parent/s are at their wits end and, instead of thrashing him, they leave him be and wait for him to be old enough to throw out. thats what id do.

''15, pack your bags. you can continue to be the boss of the streets ''

and in the streets is where these demon kids learn all about real life. theyll come crawling back begging for forgiveness and promise to be a good kid. id give one more chance/strike.
