i do think that we should go back to the days when our parents were growing up . when you did something wrong you knew what would happen to you when dad got home . there was no "time out" no dr. spark saying you should not hit your child . children were tault to do as they were told to do no talking back no calling the police no child abuse and they did not have any of the problems that we have to day. there was no one tell you not to spank your child even when he or she was a teenager.

I grew up in family that believed in beating kids. I did not develop any fear or disorder because of this. I actually thank my family for the whoopins that I did recieve for I believe it made me a better person. I learned if I did wrong I suffered pain. I have kids of my own now. I only spank them when it's reeeeeeally necessary. Instead though I use boot camp tactics. Now as far as this study goes I believe it's a load of crap. It's a survey that anyone can lie on. No one is there to actually witness what goes on in these other households. I have seen white parents do worse damage to their kids than I have seen with some black parents and on a survey they can so no I don't beat my kids. The money they are spending on the so called "surveys" and phycological analysis can go to a better cause like a cure for breast cancer or any kind of cancer. This study is a waste of time and more. It's to give the state more power and control over our kids. Soon it's going to be if I yell at my kids they can be taken away. This study is ridiculous.

I have no problem with chastising a child who is out of line, but some parent need to know where to draw the line. I don't advocate beating a child when angry, irritated or upset. Wait until you calm down. This has two effects a) it scares the crap out of the child more because they don't know when the whoop ass is coming and thus leads them to think twice about their behaviour in the future and b) you will have calmed down enough to not over do it due to anger frustration or irratation, thus leading to real physical abuse and possibly prison or hospitalisation of the child!
