wait. what?
Children get to choose if they want to be punished by their parents?
yes they get to choose with physical punishment of course. unless it's self defense.
Case 1:
Son tells his dad he's stupid -LEGAL(Anyone know any law that makes it illegal for a son to tell his dad he's stupid?)
Dad spanks son without son's permission for telling him he's stupid -ILLEGAL(Why? Son didn't break the law. Dad spanked son when son didn't even commit a crime.)
Son not making his bed -LEGAL(Anyone know a law that makes it illegal for a son not to make his bed?)
Dad spanks son for not making his Bed -ILLEGAL( Son didn't break any law. dad spanks son for being a law obiding citizen).
Son throws rock on purpose and breaks neighbour's window -ILLEGAL
Dad spanks son for breaking neighbours window -ILLEGAL( Why? Son broke neighbours window, not dad's window. Son did not attack dad so dad not spanking son for self defense.
Solution: Neighbour complains to police and police arrest son and punish him by fine/jail etc. You can't take the law into your own hands unless your using self defense or making a citizen's arrest, just like if a boyfriend punched his girlfriend, and girlfriend tells dad and dad goes to boyfriend's house and starts stabbing boyfriend, that would be illegal and murder because it's not self defense).
Why are parents spanking their children when their kids are not even doing anying illegal?
