Would anybody think that part of a problem is how we raise our children as a society.  It had been said that "It takes a village to raise a child" - but look at a sorry status quo of the village.  Why do we wonder that children are becoming more and more violent when media bombard them with never ending avalanche of violence, sex, depravation  and nihilism.  Are these role models that are benefiting their personal development?  We raise our children in a village where Child Protective Services made a business out of snatching babies out of parents for profit and there is no recourse for that.  In our village it is dangerous to discipline out of control kid - they threaten you with reporting to CPS or police.  Why are we surprised that kids demand from us? Let it be toys, phones, computers, fashion items - we give them to buy extra time to chase our pleasures or money, and unfortunately for many to secure basic needs when all they really want is some attention and love.  They are watching us and learning.  We don't give them quality educating entertainment but we allow advertisement industry to brainwash them into wining, tantrum throwing "want it all and now" little monsters.  They see us chasing materialism.  They see wars and violence.  They take a notice that brutal force takes the front to other options in resolving conflicts.  So there is nothing new: kids are just mimicking grownups as they always did.  Isn’t it a powerful enough reason for us to change our ways?  It will not happen by itself.  We have to get up and act.  We have to clean up our village and bring it back to original order.  And we have to do it peacefully as today violence leads to the doom of all.

Andy, yes, but, if that 'Village' was one with the 'Damned' then one would need to be thinking about a brick wall, life is worth visiting, if only for the Week-End.  ^_^

Yes, it does take a village to raise kids , but how many people in a village really help?

Hello, I agree it is pointless, and cruel, beating anybody at all, However, I do advocate the extermination of all feral badly behaved beings of any age whatsoever, we cannot allow, knowingly, the breeding of the troublesome, inasmuch, that it creates a worry that is worse than the extermination option, do you agree?  E-Moth ^_^

Depends on whether the police are paid off. I nearly went to jail for saving my daughters.And then a policeman, detective I think he called himself, alleges that throwing my daughter down the stairs after pulling her off a bunk bed for not washing dishes is not abuse. Tying up a child and leaving her on a cold floor is not abuse. Punching her in the eye (and causing a black eye ) is not abuse. Holding her over a high decking and threatening to drop her is not abuse. Putting her head in a toilet and flushing is not abuse. The other one had to eat vomit and was sexually abused and I will not read the statements. A witness has come forward and if it kills me I will get justice; if I go to jail so be it I will fight to the end.The name of the Detective from Melbouren is Neil Beesham of Doncaster Police. I am going to the Office of Police Integrity re him. He also closed my file of violent bashing (so bad I had to dissocitate) and most violent rape. This pig of a man said I was not a "VICTIME OF CRIME"The creature is hiding in the Dominican Republic with his defrauded loot.

In Melbourne a monster got jailed for life today for throwing his daughter of four off a bridge. For rescuing my girls I was charged with stalking by the Doncaster Police and they wanted to lock me up for ten years. In this other case the mother knew what her ex husband was like but no one listened.

I haven't bought into fear at all, PH.  My daughter has never been spanked and has not had a behavior issue in her life.  She is smart and her teachers adore her.  She has never said a bad word about anyone in her life and she always stands up for the underdog.  She's damn near perfect.  Can anyone else here say the same? So I'm not buying into the spanking BS at all.  And I've known plenty of kids who were spanked who certainly have big problems and are far from perfect.  There are many forms of abuse and spanking is just one of them.  Certainly some good parents spanked their children because they thought they were doing the right thing but this should be left in the past where it belongs.  A spank can turn into a hit which can turn into a beating, some parents just lose control.  It's really a failure on the part of the parent if they can't come up with a better way to discipline kids other than to spank them - it teaches the child nothing and a good opportunity has been lost to teach the child how to use their reasoning skills.  Just because someone doesn't spank their child doesn't mean that they can't discipline them but there are far better methods today than a generation ago. Parenting classes should be a requirement for anyone who is expecting or has a young child and the cycle of abuse could be broken in 20 years or so.  Kids aren't' born with an instruction manual but maybe they should be.

Oh I was just waiting for someone to post that.  Yes Jerry let's teach them early on that inflicting pain on others is permissible so they can learn to hit their siblings, beat up their classmates, grow up to be a wife beater and kill innocent people for the oligarchs. That whoppin sure teaches them how to use their logic and control their impulses.  Hey Mommy and Daddy did it to me so I can do it to everyone else I don't get along with too.

Spare the rod spoil the child !!

PH, really?  Why is a whoopin any more effective than a time-out or taking away their favorite toy for awhile or grounding an older child?  It's ironic that on a site where folks claim to be non-violent and anti-war still think disciplining children with violence is OK. Curious indeed.

That's so true, Tina.  The parents really need to chip in do their part and help make up for the lost funding.  If they have time, they should volunteer at the schools or at least for the class.  Attend PTA, parent-teacher conferences,  back-to-school night, open house, volunteer to drive for field trips, do something - ask the school what they need you to do.  Get to know the other parents and kids, chances are your kids will know them for a long time.  Half the parents have older kids who have already gone through the school and they have a lot of knowledge/info to share.  And prepare you little ones for school.  Before they enter kindergarten, they should know their ABCs, how to write their name and count to 100.  If you work and don't have the time, get them into an academically oriented preschool, it makes a huge difference.  Your child will need a computer by 5th grade and you need to teach them how to use it, and how to use word processing and Power Point.  They will also need a color printer for many middle and high school projects.
