I disclipined my kids whenever, wherever they did wrong, church, home, outings...If they acted up and was told one time...they knew what was next, every time.
JJ is gonna smack me. But I cannot help observe that the people who use corporal punishment tend to have bad language skills. Does that say anything?
I think you must be picking out a few. You and I seem to agree in many areas. I have said several times that I spank for certain things while my children are young and it is effective. Do you think I have poor language skills?

Agreed.
Though I don't believe the spanking is effective, I do think that disclipince must be consistent. You can't tell a young kid that you'll punish them when you get home...it loses all meaning. You have to respond in that moment
This is totally your opinion and I could respect this although my view obviously differs. I can not say children which are not spanked turn out better or more kind etc etc just as I can not say those are turn out better. I know OF many from both sides! Note, each produced Great people as well plenty Nut Jobs. So to insinuate your child is Law abiding etc etc because he was not Spqnked holds very little weight. I am a product of spankings I too hold with a clear record,Law abiding, Masters Degree, and serve my country proud as a Unite d States Marine; OHH RAHH! I suppose my father believes A** Wh**ping(s) served me well as I am a Success.
Thank you for proving my point.
You just acknowledged that it is completely possible to raise responsible, kind, adults without hitting them as small children. Therefore there is no reason to hit.
And FYI, oorah or not, you aren't the only one with a graduate degree. Hitting children certainly has no positive correlation with education level.
But this boy is obviously in pain, and very frustrated, and trying to voice his concerns about his mother's behavior. There is obviously some deep issues that his mother has contributed to, obvious by both their reactions. If my son was in this much turmoil, I would be seeking psychological help, and not the jerry springer kind.
He's a spoiled little jerk. Sometimes the best antidote is a good old-fashioned a** kicking. Not all problems can be resolved through conversations, therapy, and U.N. peace resolutions.
