What's better, a kid who resents his/her parent's for spanking them...or even beating them...or a kid who goes out and does whatever?
IE today's news:
St. Louis police chased down and arrested three teens -- one of them a girl holding a 3-week-old baby -- who tried to rob a woman at gunpoint early this morning.
Authorities this morning were mulling charges against the suspects, two girls, 16 and 17, and a boy, 16
I was beaten with rolling pins. I have a scar on my forehead that's about 3 inches long from a butter knife being thrown at me. Rulers, spatulas, vacuum cleaner attachments were all means of discipline. I hated my parents for what they did to me. I love them now for what they ultimately gave to me. But never did I once think of harming others. Or taking a gun to school and killing people. Or robbing someone. Child abuse...intolerable. Discipline...necessary.
Seriously, look at the youth of today...they think they can do and get away with anything. What's the mentality? I'm a juvenile, I can get away with anything. My parents are not allowed to touch me...I'll sue...
