Why? If you're going to advocate beating a child who is to say how much is too much.Exactly. Nothing wrong with giving your kid a hiding, but this kind of thing is just wrong.
Again, who are you to say this is abuse, but a bit less is not?Honestly I would also bliksem my kid, if I got into shit for him/her downloading illegally. However I wouldn't go as bos as this oke did on his daughter, that's proper abuse. I had my fair share of hidings in Boarding school and at home as a kid, but not as bad as that.
And where is that line, exactly?Ja that oke seriously went way overboard. There is a line to draw when it comes to discipline![]()
Isn't it quite likely that this guy beats his child quite regularly and believes in the old spoil the child drivel. For a more severe offence clearly a more severe beating is surely required. If you believe in hitting children as discipline, then as long as the parent is not killing or crippling their child what business is it of yours how long or hard they hit their child?
