[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am also shocked that this is happening in 2015. I was spanked as a child and, just like our parents smoked and drank while pregnant and no one wore seatbelts, I assume it was because these were uneducated people that didn't know any better. I cannot believe that anyone thinks this is ok and ESPECIALLY do it in such a sick, sadistic way as laying them over your lap and hugging and kissing them afterward. Dear Lord! No wonder people are in abusive relationships as adults![/quote]

Spanking has not proven to be harmful the way smoking during pregnancy, or not wearing seatbelts has.[/quote]

Oh my god, YES IT HAS. Read the research. But I know you won't. Keep justifying it if you want but you are on the wrong side of history.[/quote]

I have read the research. As has already been stated by multiple other posters, the research is not conducted scientifically with controls or even an attempt to separate mild physical correction with severe physical abuse. It lumps it all together as a binary variable, does not tease out socioeconomic factors, and declares that spanking is bad.

The research is worthless.[/quote]

Sure. Keep hitting your kids and keep telling yourself that.

She wants a double-blind clinical trial for the research to be valid but then believes that he own anecdotal evidence is iron-clad.

It wouldn't even have to be double blind. Just do the same surveys, but control it for socioeconomic status, and control it for the type of spanking, the frequency, the severity. That would at least be a start. [/quote]
