As I was pointing out--
WHAT is your REACTION to this video?

Why do you believe that assaulting a child is okay?
Why do you believe that brutally whipping a child is "proper discipline"?

You state, "This father will determine his kids punishment." You believe that the children are CHATEL, his property, and have no rights. Do you also believe that the wife is the property of the man, and if she "get out of line" that she should be beaten?

Where did you learn these things?

Did I say NOT to discipline? I said that discipline is necessary.
There is a difference between discipline and brutal assault.

I've been there, done that.
Taken kids out of gangs. Fed and clothed them, when I had no money.
Gave them a safe place to be. Talked with their parents, who became my friends. Accepted the children and parents both as human beings and helped, listened and showed a different way to communicate. We worked towards solutions that were not violent.

There is a force greater than violence.
as long as you choose violence, you will never learn that force

I believe that children should be the property of parents until majority. It's not that way legally in our country, but it should be. I didn't learn this from anyone else. I figured it out AS A CHILD because obviously my parents were more suited to supervise me than the adult legal system.

It has nothing to do with a man owning his wife.


Human beings are not ANYONE'S property.
Parents are STEWARDS of their children's CARE and INSTRUCTION
It is not that you OWN your children, rather YOU are the person RESPONSIBLE for their care and for training them to respect others.
Beating a child does not teach them respect, beating a child teaches them FEAR.

When is the last time you sat down with your
4 year old, your 8 year old, your teenager
and ASKED them what THEY thought?

When they have done something that is "inappropriate", do you ask them WHY they did it?

RESPECT
Respect your children, and they will respect you.
