You're right. Way too often, these days, the smallest bit of discipline suddenly brings Child Protective Services (and/or the police) knocking on someone's door, arresting the parents for "child abuse." It is, as you say, ridiculous! Kids, these days, get away with murder, think it's ok, and think they have their folks in their hip-pocket. Now, many parents opt to ground kids, take their cell phone away for the weekend, anything else at all, because they fear to spank.
Maybe this is the way society is advancing, not using physical torture in place of proper parenting. You shouldn't have to hurt your kid to get them to do what you want and if you have to you already failed as a parent, just because the beating didn't go on longer to make bruises and blood doesn't put it in different classes. Spanking didn't help me it made me rebel as do many many other kids. Sure if you want your kids to be doormats who think physical torture is the answer to parenting
@JohnnyWeedSeed420 And maybe it's a way it's disintegrating. We went from one extreme to the other and in truth, neither work. Just because spanking did not yield the desired results from you, doesn't mean it didn't for many other people, myself included. I didn't need to be beaten. Had my mouth washed out with soap three times in my life and only been spanked maybe a handful, I learned quickly as did many others I know. I'm not a doormat, I'm quite ambitious, outspoken, and independent.
Likewise, I know people that went in the complete opposite direction. That being said, I don't think physical discipline works for all children. However, I REALLY don't think lack thereof works for all children either. There are definitely people who do not need to be spanked, because it will only break their personality. I know quite a few people, some of which are useless members of society at this point, who were never physically disciplined as a child because their parents had the
same mindset as yourself. Some kids need to be put in their place and sometimes the only way to teach them that is by spanking, or washing their mouth out with soap. I see too many kids these days who, of course, have never been spanked, and are rebellious nasty little pieces of work with absolutely no respect for their parents. That's not to say that their parents don't discipline them, but that taking away freedoms is simply not enough. Everyone is different.
My mom used horse radish instead of soap and I hated it.
And yes, I grew up in a world where most kids knew the belt and wooded spoon. If they didn't get it themselves they overheard their friends get it every once in a while and knew it was something to really avoid.
Not only did it hurt it was embarrassing to know that everyone in an earshot heard your crying and yelps.
Time outs are a joke when a kid does something “over the top” that they know 100% is wrong.
@wylers That was about as intelligent as citing a reference from Wikipedia. Although, I'm sure you do that as well when you're trying to make a point. Despite what your oh so reliable search engine would like to say, sexual abuse must be intentional to be considered as such. Therefore, if the intent of a spanking (which 99.9% it is) is to reprimand, then it is not sexually abusive. It is a disciplinary action. Do yourself a favour and stop quoting frivolous sources.
Like I stated in the video, the fact that they forced her to 'eat' it was wrong and I do think that they deserve to be punished in that respect. However, I was allowed to rinse my mouth out, and not once did I ever swallow the soap. That being said, if your sister died, then no, you were not punished the same way I was, and yes, that was abuse. I never went to school with welts or bruises, nor was I or my brother, ever hospitalised. Had our lives ever been in danger it would be a different story
I'm sorry that you feel these things which were done to you are "deserving" ... even our law states the punishment should fit the crime. Soap is a toxic POISON... talking back is rude and disrespectful but not deserving of toxic Poison. The label on dish liquid reads "KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN" "CONTACT A PHYSICIAN" I had the belt, soap, and then some. It was abuse. Small things lead to big things. My sister died not escaping our childhood trauma. No one deserves that
There are chemicals in soap it's not good.

Google can point to important facts that are backed up by good sources. Anyway, what do you think should be done about that 0.01%?

Do any parents even pull their kids pants down for spanking anymore?I know that there were some families in the past that would do that.
