I was spanked as a child and most of my friends were spanked as a child and I&#039;m telling you I AM NOT TRAMATIZED,      Your experience that you feel was abusive maybe it was, BUT
  all punishments and spankers are not abusive,   but the average person who spanks their children is not going to be abusive it is to let them know what you have done is serious and this is the consequences  .]]></description>

You are completely right,   So they want your kids to be able to do whatever they want to do with no consequences that&#039;s why the prisons are full right now of young people who were not disciplined that&#039;s why there are students at high schools in elementary schools that are dead from school shootings because someone wants to let them do whatever they want legal or illegal without Having consequences like a spanking of that sort and don&#039;t allow these people to tell you lies like this all they&#039;re doing is creating more school shootings in the future because they think they can do whatever they want.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I remember being so humiliated when I was little because my mom would whip me naked. Then she&#039;d make me stand in the corner so everyone could see the marks. I remember once when I was about 8 I was standing in the corner naked after a whipping and two of my female cousins near my age walked in. They were shocked and I was SO embarrassed, and I remember one of the girls asking her mom why I had red marks all over my bottom, penis and legs. Well he obviously just got a whipping, my aunt told them. This was so abusive, and I never forgave my mom. And I haven&#039;t laid a finger on any of my kids, and they are very well behaved.]]></description>

@Ayla.
You should thought ahead and child proofed those doors after you bought the house. Sliding mirror else&#039;s doors should not be in your child&#039;s room to begin with. You and your husband were both negligent and just plain stupid to leave those doors up. Parents need to think ahead and foresee dangerous situations like that. I blame ypu, the parents, not the child for not negating that danger before hand. It&#039;s almost sounds like you are more concern with punishing your child instead of making his environment safe. It wouldn&#039;t have killed you too take those doors off. I would have removed them from my daughter&#039;s room instead leaving them in and spanking her for messing with them. Maybe you&#039;re a sadist who enjoys hitting your child. What if he would of broke them and got seriously hurt or bled to death. You both would have been guilty of negligence in my book. STUPID UNTHINKING PARENTS!!]]></description>

@Robert or anyone who wants to read it.
My name is Richard and I need to respond to your post. I&#039;m a single father of seven beautiful girls. My youngest is 12 and my oldest is 23. Im a retired grade school teacher who stood up against corporal punishment in schools and I have been a crisis counselor for the past twenty five years dealing with abused children. Believe me I have seen the horrors of what can happen when you start hitting children. Every parent should see and hear what I have and it will change their minds about hitting and spanking. I raised my girls without hitting and spanking and they are turning out beautifully. There is never a reason to hit a child. All you parents out there that use hitting and spanking as punishment are incompetent and sick of just plain ignorant. My girls and I have mutual love, understanding, compassion and respect for each other. A good portion of discipline is talking out the problems calmly with logical and realistic positive consequences. I set reasonable boundaries and limits for my girls. I would like to introduce my girls to you: my youngest, Nova (12), twins Dafne and Daveigh (14), Evie (16), Johanna (18), Shayn (21), and my oldest, Nevada (23) and I have a foster daughter Ana (8). My hope and dream and prayer is that one day we will no longer hit our smallest and weakest human beings. GOD BLESS!!!]]></description>
