The U.N. thinks they have the right to tell the UK that spanking their children is wrong and they want to outlaw it, where in the hell do they get the idea that they can tell them what to do, ooo yea the idiot in charge Obama. At least here in GA spanking a child is perfectly legal, beating a child isn't, and yes I have always believed a smack on the butt ( embarrassed a child more than hurt ) works miracles, my kids are all past that point now but when they where younger yup I gave it to them when ever they needed it. And now ( the younger boys anyway, ages 12 and 13, at the end of next month they will be 13 and 14 ) don't ever need me to raise my hand, a simple glare across the room lets them know it's done, I am not listening and they are done talking. I don't believe in beating a child but spankings are a part of good parenting, I love the time outs, " yea little Johnny you go to your room with your computer and Nintendo and you stay there for a 1/2 hour" yea like kids don't enjoy that, hell I remember my Dad pulling that belt off and it was no Daddy no Daddy before he ever got in the room, nope we very rarely made the same mistake twice. And in all honesty it didn't hurt, it was the thought, the fear you built up, but it taught us, but who in the hell is the UN to decide who any of us should raise our kids, yes there is a law they had sent to the USA last year on the very subject.
I remember a teacher telling me I shouldn't spank my son, I told him then for now on when my kid acts out in school don't call me or I was going to come to school and spank him in front of the class, yup he dummy upped quickly, both of my boys are very active in sports ( with the school and outside leagues ) and both are pretty much straight A students, although the older one struggled in one class last year keeping the A. So apparently I did something right, God knows they didn't get there good habits of studying from me I am ashamed to say, but they did learn how to work hard from me and they do so in everything they do.
Under the guise of advancing what the United Nationscharacterizes as “human rights,” the UN “Human Rights Committee” released a report urging U.K. authorities to prosecute parents who smack or spank their children — even when used as a disciplinary tool. The UN report continued, advocating that the government launch a tax-funded propaganda campaign against corporal punishment and parents who choose to use it in disciplining their children, highlighting the alleged “harmful effects.” A broad list of other demands — more abortion, more UN agreements, and more censorship, among others — was also provided by the UN’s “human rights” bureaucracy in its report on the United Kingdom.
