Anonymous Coward User ID: 10977015 Finland 12/03/2012 09:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm just about as liberal and PC a person as one can be, but inflicting minor physical punishment on your kid after verbal warning is OK in my book. You don't even need to resort to spanking. When I was growing up in the 70s, I would get my hair pulled sharply if I misbehaved and didn't heed to verbal warnings. It certainly didn't traumatize me, but it made me think twice whether I should do what I knew was wrong. Verbal warnings first, so that the kid can't say that he/she didn't know or forgot. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 22022484 United States 12/03/2012 09:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is 10:30 at night and the cops show up looking for this kid saying he is missing. We hadn't seen him, however I told the cops that this kid (9 year old) has a history of doing what ever he wants to do. He isn't a bad kid just doesn't have parental supervision. I told them he is probably over some other kids house. As it turns out he was. He simply doesn't listen to his father. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24090746 The next day talking to one of my neighbors she says "he has ADHD and that is why he doesn't listen". I say to her, no I think he needs parental supervision and the belt on his ass. She gets all offended and blah, blah, blah. You know how it ends. In any event, parents wanting to drug up the kid to enforce good behavior is bullshit. Get them into sports and provide parental guidance. What say all of you? |

Corn Dog User ID: 28988199 United States 12/03/2012 09:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As a Mom, I stand and applaud OP & posting. The schools have suggested that I also drug one of my children but I refused. ADHD is a condition that some children have and it is so hard for them, because of this mass diagnosing those with the condition are at a true disadvantage. People like OP can see plain and clear what really is. To many times I see children jerking their parents around. I am unsure, but I swear the schools are promoting some scary stuff. My oldest once threatened to call the police if I didn't do as they wanted. I have been told by my children what is allowed and what isn't. I have no clue where they get this crap. That shit was shut down real quick and I never needed to raise a hand. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20566260 United States 12/03/2012 09:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I agree OP. Society is idiotic these days. Lets choose not to hurt a physical part of the child because that's bad, but instead, lets choose to drug and alter his mind state for life, and potentially cause drug dependency..... That is sooooo much better. An injury to a child is still an injury. Be it physical or mental. It's just more pc to cause mental injury I guess. |

The second may be the author's name, Mick Farren. As leader of The Deviants and Pink Fairies, Farren has first-hand knowledge of the subject at hand. It is well known that Hitler was a speedfreak. But we never hear about JFK, who reportedly was addicted as well. As Farren shows, the whole post-War, New Frontier era was all about speed. Over the counter, pharmaceutical-grade amphetamines such as Benzedrine are what really what made the engine of the U.S. economy roar in those years. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24090746 Uh. No. That's a bad idea. If the kid comes home with bruises and scratches, and these are later discovered by a school nurse, you - as a parent - are in for hell of a ride in the grinding machinery of social services. First, they'll suspect you of beating your kid. If you're lucky, they might finally believe that you didn't beat your kid, but you're not in the clear yet. Next, they'll give you a lot of grief for failing to protect the kid from physical harm while he/she was playing. They may even threaten to take your kid to a host family for his/her safety. It's mad. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 13076957 United States 12/03/2012 09:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bad parenting skills is no reason to drug your child. Discipline is lacking with a lot of children. Actions = consequences. Oh, no it is so much easier to drug children into zombies. I have seen children who are truly ADD. I still don't believe that they should be given meds. They, like every other child, needs to learn to get along in this world. In the good old days if you had a hyper kid you gave them coffee or a Moutain Dew and sent them off to school. Now people are wondering why their adult children still live at home. It's not just the economy. They raised children who don't know how to handle life. I am not big on spanking my children, I have no problem with other people doing it. But, I would much rather my child be afraid that their butt is going to be hurt than run out in the road and possibly get hit by a car. For discipline I tend to make my children put their nose on the wall or clean up dog poop. BTW, I have a child who does benifit from caffeine from time to time. He is not as skinny as a rail. He has no withdrawls or caffeine headache because he doesn't get it on a daily basis. |
telling it straight User ID: 1461054 United States 12/03/2012 09:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Agree with you, OP. Old-fashioned discipline is what the kid needs. BTW, they've gone beyond adhd and now have a new one: Child Aggressive Disorder for those little darlings that have no respect for the adults in their lives. Whatever the problem, the solution is to drug the kids. It's all some kind of "disease" or "disorder." The kids need consequences and boundaries pure and simple. we are raising another generation of narcissistic psychopaths. |
