Why not bring up a case which illustrates one end of the spectrum of the topic of conversation in question?

Because all it does is provide wild sensationalism in a thread that isn't about extremes.

Well then you and I have differing opinions on what should constitute the parameters of a discussion.

Once you got quick enough to outrun them you needed the skillz to dodge the projectiles. Happy times.

disciplining them with non violence.

Well obviously if the child has thus far not been disciplined with violence then the child must have been disciplined with non-violence. It seems that hasn't been working.

Then try a different non violent method.

Seems almost funny to think a bateing will teach a knife-throwing kid that violence is wrong :pac:

Hitting a child is pathethic. If you have the need to hit your child then you have failed as a parent.

sorry your highness :rolleyes:

A beating and a good old smack are two different thing's, beating a kid is cruel and malicious, but a good, proper smack or two wouldn't go a miss.

My wife is a teacher and some of the stories of how patrents behave to defend their kids is unreal!eg.. child tells teacher to f**k off ,teacher write a note home and mummy and daddy call a meeting with teacher and principle claiming that the child is traumatz and stressed over note home ....teacher end up appolising the child, mun & dad!kids are out of control and the patrents are giving them the green light to do what ever they want

My Sister in Law was telling me about her niece today, who got a time-out for throwing a knife at her Dad. A fcuking time-out.

I remember incidents of literally getting my arse kicked - I mean a bona fide kick in the hole - for pretending (yes, pretending) to steal my Dad's wallet when I was ten. And my Mam bought wooden spoons, even though she never baked ... ever!

Am I just being old school, or are kids still getting proper, old-school bashings for being bold?

maybe the child hasn't been disciplined at all.

To smack a child is only ok if the child can smack the adult back with the same proportion of force to the ratio of mass of the adult to the child .

Yep and the draggin up is well advanced when they think they can get away with throwin knives.

The kid isnt even processing that: the kid, like so many, is a wilful egotistical kid that needs breaking from the habit of thinking they will get their own way.

Because it implied a shifting of personal responsibility to the parent(s).

I am sick of people saying "I blame the parents" when a minor does something they shouldn't.

You don't have to wait until you reach 18 before knowing the difference between right and wrong.

I have seen parents make every sacrifice under the sun (and bring them up well , showing good example etc) for their children only for the latter to still turn out bad.

Obviously young children cannot be held responsible for their actions but there is a cut-off point.

Not necessarily true. Some parents try their best to little or no avail. And I don't think you can underestimate the power of peers in many cases.

I couldn't hit a child - I couldn't hit a dog ffs - although there's a difference between "hitting" and a light tap on the bum to give the kid a wake-up call. I'd actually prefer that to a person screaming at the child.
