I believe this article was very well stated and actually kept more cool than I would have if I were writing about this. You may believe what you want but that doesn't make you right, my belief in the sun not rising tomorrow doesn't mean it won't. Child Development perspective... Studies consistently show that physical punishment of any sort (spanking or otherwise) weakens the bond a child has with it's parent. The bond a child has with a parent is most important to his development. So do what you want with that information. But that is evidence and not just someones opinion or culture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385734613853151197.post-15869211208349412042014-09-26T08:09:44.819-06:002014-09-26T08:09:44.819-06:00Southerner's perspective...I was spanked. My ...Southerner's perspective...I was spanked. My grandmother even made me do the same thing and go get a switch from the willow tree outside. Does that make them abusive, NO. Did he take it to far? We don't know-these photos do not show the child's face. I am not defending him in anyway because you should never cause a child to bleed, but consider the source, the INTERNET. I also spank my child, heck they still do it in some schools down here. I am also not saying we hand out spankings every time. Time outs, and loss of privileges also works. But disrespect he will not it is not tolerated in our house. And I am sorry but little Johnny causing a tantrum of epic proportion just because, and your only way of "handling it" is to talk to him- obviously that isn't working. <br />Again I am in no way defending him but to compare the "southern" tradition with what I do and what was done to this child is just a wrong. As parents we judge way to much on everything, to each his own. Lets let the legal system work this one out. And pay more attention to the future we are raising. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385734613853151197.post-5545840816692482462014-09-25T05:07:55.615-06:002014-09-25T05:07:55.615-06:00Sad but true that this is happening with other cul...Sad but true that this is happening with other culture. Sometimes they resort to beating to discipline a child. I am fortunate that I was brought up without having a struck of anything on my body. Maybe they just don't know the proper way to bring a child up and what communication means.

This child, baby really, had leaves stuffed in his mouth, defensive wounds on his hands and was beaten bloody... Those pics are a week after.... He didn't discipline his son, he brutally assaulted and tortured him..... Shame on him. Shame on the Vikings for putting him back in the line up. Shame on the NFL for not banning him for life.
