Do you think this is cruel?

[carole]

I consider this child abuse, she needs to take some parenting classes and learn new effective methods of teaching her children to behave better.

Tonya I would never use a belt on my child, you say hands are for loving, that maybe so, but you could hit too hard with a belt, I would seriously re-consider how you spank Jaden. I am glad to hear you hardly ever have to use this method of punishment, and I know he is ADHD, and hard to handle,so i do understand where you are coming from, and yes of course I have spanked my children, but having a big ten yr gap between the two, I like to think I learn't better ways of dealing with un-acceptable behaviour.

The trouble with spanking is that there is a very fine line, and some people just loose it and do go overboard, and then it becomes abuse., that is why it is better to use your hands, because your hands cannot really do that much damage, they can hurt, but not cause serious injury. JMO.
