I condition both my kid and my dog with positive reinforcement snacks and they are both very well behaved. Of course, they are both morbidly obese now, so I guess it's a trade-off.
Some kids need to get wacked, they also need a Father in their lives... Part of the reason we have wimpy assed people as well as lazy and on the dole today.
I don't necessarily condone woopings that draw blood, but the kid pushed off another kid off what sounds like a Dave and Buster's type arcade game motorcycle. He needs to be disciplined, again, not sure if I would handle the wooping like that, but I am sure Adrian's father was tough on him, he has turned out pretty well to date.
Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.

Who's going to be the more productive adult, the kid that was hit with a switch or the one that was coddled and never told 'No'? If you ask me it's the latter parent that we should be throwing in jail.
The saddest part in all of this, is that our society has not improved in handling behavior and violence.
How about a new medical diagnosis for these overly rambunctious younsters and some new drugs to combat it with?
That should work out nicely for everyone....
I believe in discipline but that was excessive.
Yes they can, and if that is how you want to raise your kid that is your business and more power to you. If somebody wants to use a belt or a switch, that's their business as well. I agree that AD went overboard. I don't think he should go to jail for it.
I don't buy the comparison to hitting dogs. Dogs are incapable of comprehending information and instructions like kids are. Hitting a dog is more akin to hitting an infant or a toddler. A child at some point becomes capable of processing information and knowing wrong from right and will test those limits as children often do. How a parent opts to deal with a misbehaving or disobedient child is their business, within reasonable limits, of course.
It must be very reassuring to be as self-rightous as you.
Excessive corporal punishment cases are referred to CPS. None of the ones I have referred ended up going to a grand jury. If anything they are adjudicated in front of a family court judge who usually agrees with CPS recommendations. If the parent or parents have been cooperative this usually amounts to parenting classes and supervised visitation of the offending parent.
Beware the man who would rule you for your own good. He will never cease. He will regulate every aspect of your life, destroy your liberty and enslave you, and sleep well convinced that he has made the world a better place.
