a Floridian woman was arrested on child abuse charges after spanking a child: On August 26, a Pinellas Park woman was charged with hitting a 7-year-old girl with a leather belt because the child refused to pick up a bug. The woman, who was the girl's primary caretaker, then spanked the child on her bare buttocks while saying,"I hate you."
Acceptance of spanking as a tool for punishment or rehabilitation has come under criticism in recent decades. Many professional health organizations have denounced corporal punishment as ineffective and harmful, including the American Academy of Pediatrics and American Psychological Association.showed that children were more likely to engage in antisocial behavior if they were reprimanded physically.
And people wonder what's wrong with the country today.
Is Newsweek obsessed with FL? That's 3 'Florida (Wo)Man' stories in 3 days. Odd for a national publication, esp. since courts all over the country see 100s of cases just like this EVERY SINGLE DAY. Not minimizing the criminality of this specific case, but it is entirely common.
I don’t remember a lot of mass school shootings when spanking was still allowed. (At school and home)
This is why ur confusing Floridians...... Florida parents are like.... “well then, stop blaming us”
Good!!
Hard to call it 'Spanking a child' when she hit a kid that's not hers across the thighs with a belt 6 times to the point it left welts for days..
We don't have parents anymore, we have baby sitters for the government.
Arrested? This is ridiculous.
