re: FL cop beats daughter In school office for disrespecting teacher. Staff just watch.

Self reporting and a subjective data point of "a lot"?

I wonder how many also say their sibling got a bigger slice of cake or reached over the center line of the back seat?

I always thought that there was a difference between beating and whipping.

Afifi and colleagues decided to examine five forms of physical punishment — pushing, grabbing, shoving, slapping and hitting — that took place in the absence of even more severe acts of abuse or neglect such as punching, burning, physical neglect or sexual abuse. Other related research has not specifically included or excluded more severe types of abuse, meaning that the abuse — and not the grabbing or slapping — may be driving the relationship between physical punishment and mental disorders.

She did not examine spanking because it’s not easy to define: what’s considered spanking varies from parent to parent. But, she says, “a push is a push, and a grab is a grab.”

In the study, researchers analyzed more than 20,000 people in the U.S. who were age 20 or older: 1,258 who had experienced pushing, grabbing, shoving, slapping and hitting sometimes or very often, and 19,349 who reported they had experienced it rarely or never. They adjusted results for gender, race, marital status, education and a history of family dysfunction; if the person’s parents had drug problems or were hospitalized for mental illness, that could have affected their use of physical punishment.

Across the board, people who’d experienced physical punishment were more likely to experience nearly every type of mental illness examined. Their risk of mood disorders, including depression and mania, was 1.5 times greater than people who hadn’t been slapped or grabbed. The risk of depression alone was 1.4 times greater, which was the same rate for anxiety. People who’d been physically punished were 1.6 times more likely to abuse alcohol, and 1.5 times more likely to abuse drugs.

spanked, the more likely they are to defy their parents and to experience increased anti-social behavior, aggression, mental health problems and cognitive difficulties, according to a new meta-analysis of 50 years of research on spanking by experts at The University of Texas at Austin and the University of Michigan.

The study, published in this month’s Journal of Family Psychology, looks at five decades of research involving over 160,000 children. The researchers say it is the most complete analysis to date of the outcomes associated with spanking, and more specific to the effects of spanking alone than previous papers, which included other types of physical punishment in their analyses.

One of the biggest problems I encounter as a middle school teacher is that these kids nowadays have no fear of their parents or teachers or authority. They have been given control in the school system and they know that they can do and say whatever they want, because the teachers can’t touch them or do anything to them, and their parents have coddled them and babied them instead of instilling the fear of God in them.. Glad to see that this parent showed her who’s REALLY in control.

Dumbass. There's more ways to raise a kid than violence. Hitting your kid is worse than not disciplining them. Both are terrible for kids. The common denominator is shitty parents. Looks like the OT has plenty of those

You are fricking stupid.

There is nothing wrong with what happened here. Except maybe pulling the hair. Belts are good for kids. I don't care what liberal Psychologists want to say

You're fighting a losing battle brah. People on this board are trashy as frick.

The woman did right but not getting involved. Could just escalate the situation.

You can interpret peoples class status by the way posters reply on their stance to discipline children?

Absolutely. Trashy people resort to hitting their kids because they're too lazy to put in the work. My kids aren't perfect but I dont have to hit them to get the point across.

“You people”


Was the girl in the video a toddler? Did she have similar injuries to those you posted?
