[quote=Anonymous]There is most definitely a cultural component to hitting - although the type of 'hitting' I encounter in my work [I work in Ward 7 in this city) is often done with a belt and is called 'getting a whooping' by the kids. These kids get hit far, far more frequently than any kid I know in other parts of my life. They are often terrified to go home when they know they will be beaten. Hitting is *not* an effective form a discipline; this has been researched to death. Anecdotally, it is obviously not effective since the kids I see getting hit or reporting being hit get hit all the time. [/quote]
