Do you think this is cruel?

My only questions is what is she going to do when the kids become immune to their heat.

Personally I go for a spanking. That is why God padded their little tushies. Besides there is a difference between spanking a child and beating a child. When I have children it will only be if they do something that is dangerous to either themselves or someone else.

Inside Edition today has a segment on 'Disciplining your children with hot sauce'. Its on right now in case anyone reads this and wants to turn it on. I'm sure it comes on at different times in other places, but someone else might have it on now too.

Unfortunately Mina'smomma, some people cross the line, they spank out of pure frustration, and anger, which leads to a beating, maybe if spanking is outlawed in my country it will save those children from that fate and even worse, I really don't know, does anyone know statistics from other countries where it has been outlawed,? I think it has in some european countries.

Maybe we could have a whole new generation of children raised without ever experiencing a spanking, now that would be different.

I know my parents generation believe we are all too easy on our children today and that is what is wrong with society as a whole, but I don't agree with them, society is so different from even my day, your damned if you do spank and damned if you don't, there are so many other pressures in life, working parents,to name but one, the kids don't even have much certainty of a future, with all that is happening in our world today, hence suicide rates are high in the young , especially in my country.

I have to say my mother was abused by her foster mother, and she would say well it did me no harm, but believe me I can see all the harm it did her. She is just in denial about it all, like many. JMO.
