William Bertel (Edison) - Stop Child Abuse
There are several different levels of physical child abuse. A slap on the wrist. A whack with the belt. A downright beating. Where can we possibly draw the line? There seems to be too much gray area. I don’t think that physically abusing a child teaches them any valuable lessons. Yes, in the short term they probably won’t make that same mistake again. But in the long term, it will teach them that violence is okay and that it is an important problem solver. It teaches them fear of the person(s) abusing them. Sometimes the parent can take things too far. Things can get out of hand, and guess who suffers? The child. There are plenty of other forms of discipline. Time out. Take a favorite toy away. Ground them. Cancel a family trip. Brutal violence is not a lesson worth learning at such a young age.
