Do you consider spanking child abuse?

P>Actually, there are just as many "experts" who claim spanking is benefecial to children. In fact, one study says that spanked children do better in life than those who are spared the rod. Of course, this study does have a cut off age.

It is obviously not acceptable to spank a children past a certain age. I think spanking is acceptable from age 2 to 6. As my third source says, you can't trust the "experts" on this.

You have to make your own decison on what you think is right. I got into a debate about this very subject with someone else on here at this question. Please read everything that was said there first if you want to debate on this subject.

I disagree. I think spanking is acceptable up until an age where the child will no longer respond to it- probably around 10-12. There is a difference between spanking a child, and abusing them.

If you beat your child uncontrollably I would not consider this spanking them- spanking them is hitting them enough to hurt- but not damage. I was spanked as a child, and I have no issues with it. I have no psychological problems, and am I very happy person.

I think that it depends on the child also, whether or not spanking will work.

Regardless of what the science has to say. I don't care so much. I would never hit a child.

Period. I love kids no matter what.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
