Are parents today bringing their kids up without repercussions for their actions? With the youth of today acting out of control, should parents be able to give their children a smack when they need it?
Thanks for reading, and leave a comment!

I Strongly believe kids should be spanked and punished because this whole "Time-Outs" and talking to is doing nothing. But if you spanked with a belt like I was, the kid will grow up obeying their parents and will learn quicker from their mistakes.

yes beat they bad ass when it need it i believe that ie will help them respest and show them right from wrong.
Today parents cannot give their kid a good old slap in the face with out being thrown in jail. I think that the lack of repercussions is the cause of the troubled youth. It used to be that if you fucked up you got the shit kicked out of you. Now all you will can get is a time out. I think that this doesnt set any fear in the kids. If the kids are not scared of the punishment they will get when they screw up then they will do what ever they want. If todays society was a little more strict on punishment for the youth then I think that would eliminate some of the problems with the kids.

I think that there is a line that does get crossed when it comes to disciplining your children. I do believe that spanking is needed with the majority of children. We wonder why our society's children are so out of control, it is because the parents today do not punish their children properly when they do something wrong. Children need to learn that when they do something wrong then there are serious consequences for their actions. Children need to be taught right from wrong and they need to be shown that they cannot get away with it. I am not saying that you should beat your children. What I am saying is that children need the boundaries that parents set and they need to know that there is a punishment when those boundaries are crossed. Many times just taking their privaleges away are not enough and they need stronger consequences put in play. I do not agree that slapping your child in the face, pushing, or punching your child is ok. I think that a good swat on the butt is needed sometimes though.

Today parents are letting their kids off the hook and not punishing them for their actions. The parents are worried that if they spank thier kids that they will never talk to them again. the Parents have to show their kids who are boss and show them that if they do something wrong then they will get hurt. I remember when i got punished for doing something wrong, and the next time i thought twice before doing it again.

Spanking kids is a good way for showing them right and wrong, if what they did was beyond words. If they stole something or did something that hurt someone else than spank them but other wise I think verbally talking to them and explaining to them about how they need to act can work just as well. Parents are probably one of the reason why kids are so wild. These parents are willing to let their kids run around unsupervised that it gives them the idea that they can do what ever they want. Parents also let them watch rated R movies at an age where they shouldn't be, at an age where it could effect them on how they act, especially when it comes to drinking and smoking. They also learn from the parents racial discrimination and bad languague. Parents are in partical the ones to blame for the bad influence on kids.

I seriously don't know what has gotten into the kids today. The are completetly out of control. See, if you don't teach your child right from wrong when they are very young then you are bound to have some issues if you never took action on their behavior. Honestly spanking kids does not work anymore. After they have gotten so many they get use to them. The parents then might start beating the child cause they don't know what else to do. Like i said if you train your child really young right from wrong you most likely won't have to beat them but if that doesn't work then there could be something wrong that you need to talk to your child about or seek help immediately before anything gets worse.

Parents really need to get these lil kids in order now a days. They are to out of control every where they go because they thinks its ok to a ct out because their parents to spank them. When a child acts up, they need they tail spanked.

I think that kids now days should know that when they mess up they going to get the whopping. When I was a child I got beat and I still to this day remember how it felt. That made a mark in my memory that I wouldn't do that again. I think just putting a kid in timeout is not good enough and parents should make the mistake last in there memory. In the end i think that kids need a smack once and a while, but dont go off the deep end and hurt them.

I think there are many parents who spoil there kids and let them do or say what they want without any consequences these days. I think kids should know that when they do something wrong they are going to get in trouble for it. Its just tough for parents to judge what way of punishment is the correct way for there kids and what is taking it to far or else they could get in trouble with the law. Meaningless punishments like timeout don't do anything except enhance the kids willingness to do wrong again. Really the parents should base the type of punishment(like a smack) on what the kid did in the first place.

i think that some of the parents today are really not being parents at all thye are just siting thier kids infront of the TV or leting other people raise them and in doing this they are not teching their kids right from worng. Some kids today do seem like they are out of control like with all the shows like Sweet Sixteen a show about girls who a rude and mean to everone around them and no one tells them to stop. But that really is not how all kids are some kids well behave.I do not think taht it is ok to smack your child what is that teaching ? That it is ok to hit. Personal think taht if you teach your childern early on how to behave and tell them why they should do that. That is a lot better then just smacking them and going on about your day.Plus i know tons of kids that are well behaved and their parents did not hit them

I think that kids should get a smack when they misbehave. Spanking your children is the most effective way of setting them straight in my opinion. When I was young I always got my dad's or grandpa's belt. That set me straight let me tell you. I never did the same thing twice because it hurt and I didnt want to experience that pain again. You see I dont think that time in a corner or whatever really does anything. The kid just watches TV or whatever while he is in trouble. How is this teaching him not to do whatever he/she did again? It doesnt. By smacking your kids you give an immediate punishment that they will remember the next time they think about doing something wrong.

I feel spanking your kids is okay. I only got spanked once when i was four and it was enough to make me never want to be spanked again. So i behaved. I believe children need to be disciplined. Some parents cross the line of just disciplining and abusing. I don't feel it is right in that case. When bruises and broken bones are left on a child by a parent, that parent should go to jail. A little spanking never hurt anyone, but savage beatings have.
I believe that parents do have the right to spank their kids. First of all I believe no one has the right to tell another parent the proper way to punish their kid. I can understand if a parent is beating their child to death because they a small mistake like breaking a glass or not going to bed on time then yes someone needs to step in. I believe if a child is hitting, cursing, or showing any type of disrespect to their child then they should be spanked. For example, all those kids on Super Nanny on ABC are HORRIBLE. I think some of them just need to smack and be giving a stern talking to from their parents. Some of the advice on Super Nanny is great and should be considered but other times I don't think the "naughty chair" is going to work forever.

I honestly dont know when spanking your child goes to far because it was different from me. People think its funny when we say we as african americans dont get spanking we get whooping and beating and its true. So i think to get put over a knee and hit a couple times on the butt is nothing. All children do things that need to be punishment somethings. In my house there was no such thing as a spanking. You got hit wit whatever was there, like a belt, shoe, electric cord, toaster, plastic baseball bat, and all kinds of other things and it wasnt just on the arms where we got hit it was all over the body. They tried to stay away from the face but sometimes with all the moving around we did it happening. From looking in on this you might see some of the welts i got to be a problems, but for me it was just another whooping. This is another one of those big situations that people are always going to have different opinons on. But i do feel that some people take it to far when it does come to spanking, whooping, or beating their kids.

I think that spanking a child when out of control is okay. It is a punishment to them know right from wrong. When I was younger, getting a spanking let me learn right from wrong. Kids have been getting more spoiled by their parents, and nothing much happens. Teaching by getting punished helps but some think that spanking a child lets them know they can hit.
Katrina Burkhardt
I think that kids should be afraid of gettin punished. If they know there gonna get a smack on the butt or something, then they're gonna think twice before whatever bad thing their about to do. I dont believe in child abuse, not one bruise or mark should be left on the kid, but he should definately be able to feel it.

I do not promote spanking, but I feel that sometimes my sons need a quick smack to the leg to get their attention. I have found this is the only way it works. I cannot spank them for inappropriate behavior or doing something wrong. I feel it is teaching them that hitting is okay, when it isn't. I prefer timeout or standing in the corner, grounding them from outside or riding their bike. I think some parents are out of control when it comes to spanking, although for some it works as a good discipline tool, maybe in two parent families. Being a single parent, sometimes trying different discipline and punishment methods are the only way to see what will work.
