Not if you disagree or agree with it, but DO YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL????
If so what should the punishment be?
For anyone thinking it's already against the law, there is NO law prohibiting this.Would you support legislation prohibiting spanking your children on the bare bottom?
NO !!! The government shouldn't tell me how to handle my child. I was raised to respect my parents and I got a slap or a belt across the *** if required and I have turned out fine. I plan on raising my children the same way if needed. Again the government needs to stay out of the households that's whats wrong with half these kids these days they don't respect there parents because there parents never slapped them on there asses never disciplined them because the government tries to say its wrong. I'm not scared of the government if the government thinks they can do a better job more power to them.
so to answer the question NO !! The Government shouldn't have any say in what goes on in my Household
I don't think it should be illegal. A lot of people including me think that its a good idea and that we are used to how children are taken care of.
Report Abuse
Would you support legislation prohibiting spanking your children on the bare bottom?First of all the government should just stay out spanking entirely. Prosecute abuse and beating absolutely and vigorously--spanking no. And bare bottom spanking is the traditional way to spank--it is not abuse. What happened is that this was the first avenue the anti-spankers took to get their nose in the tent to outlaw spanking entirely.
I was usually spanked bare bottom as a kid, and it is the only way I spank as a Mom. The immediate point of a spanking is to give, within reason, a good sting. It is kind of counterproductive to do that over layers of clothing. And depending on what clothing they have on at the time--the spanking might hurt more than at another time--that's not very fair or equitable.
I also think it is safer. It is not necessary to hit as hard to make the point.
Most important, I know from being a kid, that a pants down spanking makes a much bigger impression--it just seems much more serious.
As far as embarrassment--all punishment is inherently embarrassing and humiliating. I do not think that a child baring their rear briefly , in private, to be disciplined by their Mom, who has changed their diapers and bathed them, is UNDULY embarrassing or humiliating.
No. At some point in even the most patient parents they desire to physically adjust a child into better behavior. Better to make spanking the bottom the only legal way to correct with physical action. Experts say spanking is not the answer and will have nothing but bad effects then and in the child's adulthood. Yes maybe so but not likely if the parent does not over exercise the spanking option. A parent should be at there whits end before going to the spanking correction method. And even then they need to learn more about how a child mind works and the best way to administer the spanking from the physiological to actual physical spank. A spanking is not just hit the bottom and lesson learned. This way never works. A spanking starts with threats to spank well before it happens and I mean years sometimes.Would you support legislation prohibiting spanking your children on the bare bottom?
see, the problem here is that even if you make it against the law (and in principle i am against this) there is almost no way to enforce it. you can't have cameras in everyone's house. you can't ask the kids because kids are not reliable. what are you going to do, have a doctor analyze the bruises to see if the pants were on or off? i would oppose this kind of legislation becaues it begs for selective enforcement. it is almost impossible to enforce. plus i don't think it's better for kids to put the parents in jail. i would favor mandatory parenting education for parents who hit their kids. but not jail or fines. because that just takes away money from families that might not be able to afford it. when the parent goes to jail that takes away an income as well as the kid's parent. foster care is not really a great option.
My outlook is rather libertarian: thus I'm inclined to say we've enough laws on the books already. However, I've some experience in the realm of consensual adult discipline; and I know for a fact that a bare-bottom spanking is extremely erotic. When such a sensation is inflicted upon a child, that certainly qualifies as sexual abuse or molestation. If bare bottom spankings for children aren't prohibited, I can only say that "the law is a @ss--a idiot."
As for punishment: I assume that the sexual abuse of a child would entail a long sojourn behind bars.
Illegal ... probably not.
Bare bottom ... should not be degrading or humiliating. If the parent(s) intend it to be degrading or humiliating, then that is wrong.
However, a couple of minutes of quality time of dad belting a son's bare butt isn't necessary degrading or humiliating ... it just STINGS more and, that way, doesn't need to be as long. The important thing is that we know we have parents' love and affection 24/7. Sure, we don't like being spanked; it HURTS. Only a 'spankophile' would enjoy it. We sure don't. OUCH!!! But we do learn, quickly. And we do recover, quickly.
And other than maybe really young children, don't "pull down their pants and underpants"; just expect them to "drop them" when needed.
.
AND in some countries there already are laws forbidding such ... even laws forbidding spanking on the seat of the trousers!!
It shouldn't be illegal. I was raised in that I'd get spanked as a kid. It certainly makes you not want to do certain things. Children today are too coddled. Its degrading? Its suppose to be embarrassing. Embarrassment is probably worse than the actual act of spanking. You don't have to hit them hard, you already crushed their ego.
speaking as someone who was spanked until 9th grade(not kidding) i would whole heartedly be for the prohibition of spanking its barbaric and degrrading and there are better ways to punish children. You do something wrong as an adult you pay a fine,you may go to jail,you may have to go to court but no one spanks you.
Yes! I don't think that a swat on the clothed bottom is abuse, but pulling a child's pants down and smacking them multiple times is not right. That's just humiliating and degrading. Why would you need to do that anyway? Young children are very affected by being hit, and just swatting them clothed is plenty to get the point across, there is no reason to make them strip! And doing so can cause sexual dysfunction later in life. I know, when anyone brings up the sexual dysfunction factor, spankers just cover their ears and scream, "I can't hear you!" but it DOES happen to some people. Don't believe me? Have a look at this: http://www.nospank.net/ann.htm
Bare bottom should DEFINITELY be illegal. Why degrade and humiliate the kid?
@Katrina--There are plenty of people who were not spanked who grew up to be successful people. Just like there are plenty who were spanked who grew up to be criminals.
I think spanking is just fine!!!! I mean everyone from way back when who got spanked turned out fine! I think.... But the truth is if everyone never got spanked than they'd all turn out as spoiled peoples....
yes that should definately be illegal but there is just something so wrong with pulling a kids pants and underwear down and hitting them
Only irresponsible adults would support such legislation.
Yes should be illegal its degrading. Why not just over the pants if at all
no it should be perfectly legal!!
Hell No! Spanking should not be allowed at all, in my country it's illegal to even lay a hand on a child at all.
There's nothing wrong with speaking to the child and telling them what they done was wrong and then placing them on the naughty step.
Yes, it should be prohibited. Spanking in itself is wrong. The punishment should be a public flogging of the ADULT.
Yes I would support it, I think it only serves to humiliate the child.
I would make the left cheek off limits
