How old is too old for corporal punishment?
Q. I have a 16 year old son that is disrespectful and defiant. Is he to old for corporal punishment, and If he is what other form of punishment should I try because grounding him and taking away some of his belongings doesn't seem to have taken effect.

Do most animals raise their young without corporal punishment?
Q. Do most animals raise their young without corporal punishment? I'm watching nature documentaries on TV and noticing how gentle the mother animals are.

A. Animal mothers are very gentle and don't normally punish their young. If you watch shows on lions or other big cats, the only time that they punish is when their young is getting to rowdy with them. Monkeys are very close to us, so they do punish their young, sometimes. Humans are about the only species on earth who actually punish, punish.

A. Depending on WHERE you are located corporal punishment may or may not be illegal in schools, or even by parents. like I always say. If a person can not raise a well minded dog that obeys then how can they raise a child? What can replace a good spanking at times, sometimes nothing? Grounding, limiting activities or removal of activities- (EX: You are not going to the movies with your friends today and you will not go out over the weekend.). Taking away personal items- What is a child to do today without his XBOX? That probably hurts more than anything to today s TV addicted children. There are many ways to have alternate punishments. Kids cussing? They d be cleaning toilets, potty mouth. Not respecting others possessions. [cont.]

Is it true that some teenagers prefer corporal punishment? If yes, why?
Q. I've read in some internet forums that there are some teenagers out there that prefer receiving corporal punishment rather than other punishments, such as grounding or restrictions. This I find hard to believe. Are there really teenagers out there that do prefer being spanked than grounded? If there are, why? Don't they realize that it can cause injuries, both physically and mentally. Also, don't they realize that it's illegal to strike teenagers in some places in that matter? This is a legitimate question, please give legitimate answers.
Asked by t_raudenbush - Wed May 14 21:19:04 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. They seem to prefer corporal for one of two reasons. The practical one is that when it's over, it's over, and they can go on with their lives, ipods, cells, video games, etc., as opposed to being on restriction for weeks at a time. The other reason is that their parents may be so distant that hitting or spanking is the only physical contact they have with their parents, the only sign that their parents know they exist. Some even grow up thinking that hitting is the normal way of showing affection for someone. Very sad.

A. The most effective "corporal punishment" I've seen was at a mission school in Thailand. The teacher explained to the student his offence and that the punishment would be 6 strokes on the hand with a ruler. The student was made to hold out his hand and the teacher brought the ruler down on it 6 times, but always stopping short of contact! I thought it was a brilliant example of justified chastisement combined with Christian forgiveness. The boy was reduced to tears!. Chastisement, even if actual, not virtual, should NEVER be by unrestrained violence, as punching or kicking. It must never be more than "ritual" spanking, on bottom or hands.

People in the UK, should corporal punishment be reinstated in schools?
Q. Corporal punishment in British state schools has been banned since 1986, and it began being phased out in private schools in 1999. Today, it's banned throughout the country. Many teachers have reported a collapse of disciplinary standards since the ban and 1 in 5 support reinstating it. Do you agree with this sentiment, and if you do, what other reasons can you give? If you don't, what reasons do you have for keeping the ban intact?

A. Do you know the reason why it was stopped in British schools? One parent took a case to the European Court of Human Rights (before anyone says anything, this court is nothing to do with the EU, and European countries which are not in the EU have agreed to be bound by this non-EU court.) She was attempting to ensure that she could withdraw her child from being included in potential corporal punishment. She won. The school, and the country, now had a problem. Can a school keep a list of children whose parents say must not be given corporal punishment, and a list of those who can? A system like that would never work and would not be fair. Seeing problems on the horizon, and a potential glut of cases in the ECHR, the UK government decided… [cont.]

Don't you think that corporal punishment in schools should be banned altogether?
Q. I know that according to the law (in loco parentis), the teachers fulfill the role of the parents while the kids are in school. However, there are some teachers and principals who go WAY overboard when administering corporal punishment. I have seen pictures on the Internet of kids with bruises and welts on their bottoms that resulted from paddlings in school. And not only that, but research has actually shown that paddling isn't an effective deterrent to bad behavior. Also, paddlings have been known to cause back problems for the victims years down the road.
