At least I hope I do
A CHILD IS NOT A GODDAMN TV SET! You can't just whack it to fix the problem. All you do is stifle the behavior. It creates low self esteem in the child, and a lack of confidence, stemming form a belief that they cannot choose something as simple as their own behavior, without input on it. THAT is a far worse abuse than anything you are mentioning.
I was so neglected as a child! My mother didn't hit me enough!
If Bride of Christ is a Poe, then the law remains as strong as ever; the next poster agrees with BOC by posting a "hat doffing" smiley.
Bride of Christ isn't a Poe, she's one sick twisted fuck.
And neglect is just as bad as beating. Unfortunately they usually go hand in hand. Children are not seen or heard until they piss the asshole parent off, and get beaten for it.
And is Rapture Ready blocking viewers? I clicked on it and it wanted me to sign in.
DIAF, then get crushed by a piledriver, and get your remains struck by a meteorite, and have that buried in a landfill. No well-thinking human being will mis you after you are dead.
Child neglect is what you get when you refuse to show your child love, attention, and/or a dinner plate. It is not when you refuse to punish them in a manner that is ineffectual at best, and traumatizing at worst.
Then come over here, b of c, so my wife can "stop neglecting you." (I can't hit a female unless she's really trying to kill me, but my mate has no such restrictions.)
I believe the origional post was Sarcasm. Stupidity flows like STD's in here.
At any rate, it's obvious the parents of the members here forgot to spank some sense into you.
So open minded your brains have fallen out. Sad.
Someone from RR calling others stupid?
I'll have to buy myself a new irony meter, I'll get one with a logarithmic scale this time.
errr, sorry but the absense of spanking is not child neglect. Leaving children unattended, never being supportive, refusing to spend any time with them, etc. is child neglect. Oddly enough it's often defined as not spending time with a child in a manner that is supportive and pleasing to the child, rather than not spending enough time abusively beating the child.
There is a difference between "spanking" and "beating", I was spanked a few times as a child when I did something particularly stupid but I was never beaten.
And it's not neglectful to not spank, just as spanking is not automatically child abuse, it's a matter of parenting style. I would say I would prefer a style with a minimum of spanking, but your mileage may differ.
So...in summary:
A) It is neglect to NOT beat a child
B) Neglect is abuse
Therefore, by NOT beating a child, one abuses that child?
Your children are SCREWED.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
