Thank you for this. I follow your videos on James-my favorite Idol! But when I saw this I had to comment. You are a special person-and so right to say something to that woman. I also have, on occasion, confronted parents I thought were abusing or neglecting their children. I've thought to myself-if parents treat their childen like this in public, God knows what they do behind closed doors. Good luck to you-and keep up the support for James! From his #2 fan-Lisa.
that action is going to turn out. you don't know where they are going to end up. i'm glad i got to stay with my mom even though she didn't always spank me correctly. i had friends who were rapped in foster homes. also popping a child is not illegal and shouldn;t be i mean its the christian way and everyone here in lubbock boasts how christian they are.
The worst thing I got a woopin with was a text book and a music stand. Once I got old enough to fight back I did. My mom has a very short temper. Now as far as pooping a kid on the leg or hand or something I don't disagree with. And no thr worst thing that can happen is that child is taken away because cps is corrupt. If people would look into cps you'd see they get paid to take babies away. I can tell you think I wouldn't call cps on the worst parent. because you never know how
I didnt get hit with objects but I got more mental beatings then anything. I would get screamed at, made fun of, be forced to go with ot sleep and with out food, ect ect.
"Your bravery is to be celebrated"! The love that you exude from your words to your demeanor is amazing...I am certain the healing process for you is not over and will never be over..Although you chose to walk on that path as hard and terrifying and bitter and angry that was you did it. I know I too am on the road of healing. I endured many many years of abuse and I like you chose to never repeat the same horror with my children.
"Who are you to tell me how to raise my kid?" There are no words that can explain how much I hate that sentence. The best reply would probably be: "Who are YOU to hit someone who is smaller than you?"
To start out with, I believe that when a parent spanks a child, that the child needs to be reminded that the paddling, spanking was for his or her actions and remind them that they are still loved. After a child is spanked, the punishment should be over.
My dad had a leather belt. At most, I would only get three licks with it. Afterward, he would let me have some "me" time and then come in and explain the reasons for him doing it.
I haven't been whooped in a long time but I will say I have had my fair share here and there. im currently 18 years old and the only thing my momma and daddy hit me with was a black leather belt. my daddy still has it and to this day I still live in fear of that thing. there has been only one count that I have been punched by my momma and that was cuz I stood up for myself when I was wrongly accused of breaking a lamp. I will and haven't ever stood up for myself sence then. And thats my story...
I am so sorry to hear what you went through, I have never been hit by my mom and the amazing thing is that she was abused for her whole childhood and she is the most wonderful person in my life. I am so sorry again for what you went through and I hope you have found love today.
Here in oz they don't take action untill the child is dead alot of the times ....we had one just a few mths ago who killed her child who had been taken by the court that day and put his 18mth old body ina suitcase and put it in the pond...oz take the wrong kids away as if they rescued the one's who really needed it theyd have no jobs ....this is so wrong I didnt get this but im now working with adult children who have had this and abuse of all ways ...alot end up drug abusing
well, there were quite a few times in my childhood and early teens that I was repeatedly kicked and punched, but i think the incedent that stands out most in my mind is from when my should was impaled by a steel rake.....my mother hit me with a steel rake, and i was 11 years old. I have permanent scars from. The worst part is, i hadn't done anything wrong. She was mad at my father, and blamed me for their problems.
I liked your video,and what you said is very true.I don't know how I would of reacted if I saw someone smacking their child.I mean repeatedly I would think I would report them.I have been wooped more then once I thought with what I was wooped with once would of got my attention i had marks from it,and one time a little bleeding from the switch.What Made me hate them in ways is they had me and my sister pick the switch.I really Don't Know how to look at it besides,but to get us to listen.
My Dad Laughed once when he wooped me with the belt cause me,and my sister were not staying in bed or cleaning the room or something. not sure if he saw someting funny about how I reacted but it looked to me that he thought it was funny. I love my parents I would not say I was abused abused,but In some ways yeah ...
i was one of those kids my dad abused me and I will never for get it when i was 4 he used to beat me with belts and things so my best friend told when i got older he would throw things at me call me bad names once he hit me with a hanger I have nevr forgiven him he left when I was 18 I never told my mom tell after he left for good afraid she would never bleleave me she dose and I now have a new dad who i love
Till I was 16, my mother abused me,cords,limbs, fist,belts,brooms etc. Becasue she was a teacher no one believed me. I was 16, she broke my nose, and bruised me so bad I was out of school for days, but she made a mistake ( her first) someone saw her. She didnt get in trouble but she got scared. Althought the mental abuse never stoped. I never phyically got hurt again after that day. Your video touched me.
As a young boy, my father was beaten by his father. When he was five, he was sent to boarding school in England was caned regularly until he ran away at the age of fifteen, hopped on a boat and went to Canada. He never saw his father again. He never (nor did my mother) hit either me, or my sister. Growing up, I had no idea what horrors some children live. Good video. Thanks. - roc
Well done for standing up for the kid! I wouldn't consider myself a battered or abused child. One switch or kick in the pants was usual punishment tho. Once when I was about 5 I had a toy wooden guitar/ukelele thing Which I loved to play. Once I was playing it while my dad was watching the news. After a couple of minutes it ended up being broken over my head. I didn't pick up a guitar for years after that.
Wow, thank you for standing up. I was abused as a child, and it took me a long while to get over it. Exactly, a whipping is different than abuse. I was never "disciplined" for something wrong, or even in a structured way, but randomly slapped and beat. The worse thing, probably a thick powercord.
OMG!!! Great vid bro! Personally I never got beat. I was tied to a chair & a fire was lit under it - once, but mostly I was mentally abused. I wish they would have hit me instead.
I'm not sure you really listened to what the man said. He witnessed the lady pop the child once, then AGAIN when the child began to cry. The 2nd pop was unnecessary... crying is an EXPECTED REACTION, so why then spank a child for it as well?
When I was small I got it with the ping pong paddle, up till 9 or 10. Then my Dad started to use his old fraternity paddle. I got swatted till I was 19 and went to college. My Dad was if you live in my house it my way. Little did I know I joined a Fraternity I be getting it agin.
Amen.. I was tied to the stair case, beaten and raped from the time I was three years old. The worse was the one time he told me that he loved me, then did that to me. I asked him, I thought you said you loved me and you wouldn't do it anymore.. His reply: "I lied."
I think it was cool of you to stand up for that child, Weezie. For someone to be so open about smackin' your child so quickly in public makes you wonder how she is when no one's looking. She smacked him for starting to cry? What the hell did she expect him to do? She set that poor baby up for failure right there. Bullied her own kid. This is a great message and you really opened up. I liked your beginning and end, too.
my dad would line all three of us kids up and hit us all with a belt even with the buckle if one of us did something wrong, my worst "whippin" were his words
Fellow survivor here. Comforting knowing we are all not alone yet at the same time it proves things need to change still. I haven't been able to open up about my childhood abuse yet except for in writing.
I myself was abused terribly as a child. My father knew martial arts and beat me like a punching bag whenever I did something 'wrong'
After he was kicked out by my mom. i met a kid named is Chris and I hope and pray that he's alright to this day...his own mother beat him and my mom didn't believe me when i told her he was abused. He always had many bruises...
A razor strap by my stepfather until I bled. A routine occurrence. In my case, it was often for things I didn't do. I had a painful childhood, full of beatings and threats. My mother was always kind and never knew what I went through when she wasn't around.
Thank you for your candid honesty. My mother would whip me with a cane, and I was the kind of kid that worked exta hard to never be "bad". She would add more to the whippings, sometimes 100 if I wiggled or moved or flinched. How are you not supposed to flinch when something is wizzing through the air at your naked bottom? I am grateful to know that I was never a "bad" kid, but my parents were very, very bad. I continue to heal from all forms of abuse.
This may take more than 1 post: My earliest "beatings memories" were the "go cut a green switch from the lilac bushes, and it BEST not break!" Then the wooden spoons, spatulas, metal cooking spoons, and a 18" cat-o-nine-tails with knots on the ends. Next it was the broomstick, + for making my mom break it over my back, she beat me with the Stanley metal handled one. Next I learned to run, and it was whatever her hand fell on getting thrown
BUT,I DID need some of it. I was very rebellious + stubborn. I'd most likely B in prison somewhere without it. Also, what I got was NOTHING to how she was raised or how her brother\my uncle did his kids. It's a touchy subject tho. I saw a family in MD lose 2 young daughters for a year. Becuz of a simple one swat hand-paddling in a store. Several yrs later they discovered that both girls got sexually abused that year. State of MD just said "Sorry about that, we won't use thos people again."
We'd get the belt but I think the stress of worrying if dad was drunk or not was worse. You're first thought waking up to get ready for school is "I wonder if dad's drunk and pissed off about something yet" or coming home from school and hoping he's at least in a good mood. It's always on your mind.
great video, keep telling it! it need to be told, you did a good job and you did the right thing with that baby, I only wish there were more of people like you!!
I can count myself lucky. My daddy was strict, and stern, but he only ever used his hand, never his fist, nor his even his boot. I always knew what I did wrong, and it was the same for the rest of my family.
I never got slapped for something like spilling a drink, or even dropping and breakin a cup, I learned that accidents happen.
I got whipped with a green switch, had to pick it myself and was told if it breaks, I`ll get it twice as bad from my dad. I also got it with one of them old belts from the 70s with the 2 holes located side by side with the two metal prongs. Those were the worst, and I will never forget them. God bless.
I was never really wooped, however we were reared with fear, all we needed was a stare. I know what you mean with the electrical chord, my unlce would do that to my cousins. I also hope that lady learned her lesson.
Great video. No, I was never beaten by my parents. But, all they had to do, is to pull that wooden spoon out of the drawer. Just the sight of it made me realize I did something wrong. They never had to actually use it. I think you did the right thing in the Supermarket...
Beautifully said, Weezie! And what you did was absolutely right!
The ONLY whoopin' I ever got was with a 2x4. I was 15, and it was the only time I ever saw my Dad lose it. What I'd been caught at was "pretty bad," but no way bad enough to send him into such a blind fury. I believed for those several minutes that he was going to kill me. He realized later that he was very wrong, and I don't think he ever forgave himself.
I had a few hickory switches and belts I do believe but nothing abnormal. You know in the 60's and 70's spankings at home and school was more the norm unlike today where a parent or teacher could go to jail possibly unjustly in some situations.
I had the usual - Hot Wheels track, plastic fly swatter, leather belt and "go get me a switch outta the yard" kinda whoopings. Worst was the metal handle of a fly swatter, it left cuts on my back and what is so sad about it, it was my Grandmother. She did it in a moment of anger and she never meant to hurt me...but that is EXACTLY how terrible things happen, in that "moment of anger". Good video, Weezie.
this is a sad subject, and if i was there i would of said something to your dad...but im only 14... but if i was 25 i would say something..and the worst thing ive ever been hit with was a wooden pattle with holes in it, and the worst thing about it was it had my name on it. lol, that was a long time ago, and the person that did it isnt here ne more cus i kicked him in the nads with my cleates. well cya later, and thanks for the vid.
I was beat with electrical cords and the such.The thing I remember most is when vacuum cleaners long time ago had the metal tubes on the end and you dragged the vacuum around? I was beat with the metal tube while it was running. To this day I cannot be in a room with a running vacuum. They say it's a vicious cycle. It's not. I have 4 kids and have always talked to them. They're good kids. I have never and would never lay my hands on a kid in anger. Beautiful video my friend.
Very touching and important vid weez. I was blessed as a child with loving, non-violent parents. Child abuse is to me .. as sin, and yes, I have reported it and will again God forbid I am witness once more. hugs, Chris
A coat hanger for drawin' a crayon stick figure of jesus on the cross smilin' I was 7, I'll never fergit that day either my friend. Thanks for sharin' Peace, Health &hugs to you & yours

I was never really wooped, however we were reared with fear, all we needed was a stare. I know what you mean with the electrical chord, my unlce would do that to my cousins. I also hope that lady learned her lesson.

You did the right thing weezie. You'll have to excuse me though for not going into my childhood in this public format.

Great video. No, I was never beaten by my parents. But, all they had to do, is to pull that wooden spoon out of the drawer. Just the sight of it made me realize I did something wrong. They never had to actually use it. I think you did the right thing in the Supermarket...

Beautifully said, Weezie! And what you did was absolutely right!
The ONLY whoopin' I ever got was with a 2x4. I was 15, and it was the only time I ever saw my Dad lose it. What I'd been caught at was "pretty bad," but no way bad enough to send him into such a blind fury. I believed for those several minutes that he was going to kill me. He realized later that he was very wrong, and I don't think he ever forgave himself.

I had a few hickory switches and belts I do believe but nothing abnormal. You know in the 60's and 70's spankings at home and school was more the norm unlike today where a parent or teacher could go to jail possibly unjustly in some situations.

I had the usual - Hot Wheels track, plastic fly swatter, leather belt and "go get me a switch outta the yard" kinda whoopings. Worst was the metal handle of a fly swatter, it left cuts on my back and what is so sad about it, it was my Grandmother. She did it in a moment of anger and she never meant to hurt me...but that is EXACTLY how terrible things happen, in that "moment of anger". Good video, Weezie.

I was beat with electrical cords and the such.The thing I remember most is when vacuum cleaners long time ago had the metal tubes on the end and you dragged the vacuum around? I was beat with the metal tube while it was running. To this day I cannot be in a room with a running vacuum. They say it's a vicious cycle. It's not. I have 4 kids and have always talked to them. They're good kids. I have never and would never lay my hands on a kid in anger. Beautiful video my friend.
