[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any and all violence against children is wrong. Spanking is physical violence against innocent, defenseless, helpless children. Anyone who tries to justify violence against children has very twisted morals. You hit your child? You are a bad parent every time you do.[/quote]

As a nanny who was repeatedly kick, hit and bitten by an unruly 9 year old (who had parents that didn't believe in saying no or using any negative discipline, only positive discipline like rewards charts), I completely disagree.  Children are not defenseless as they get older; their defenses are simply weaker.  Now, I'm not advocating spanking that child, as I'm sure it wouldn't have worked given what I know of the child's personality, but there has to be some discipline, and it has to be up to the parent to decide what works best for the child and family.[/quote]

Ridiculous...you said it yourself, the reason why the child acted the way he/she did because his parents "didn't believe in saying no or using any negative discipline, only positive discipline like rewards charts"...that child (or any other child) doesn't need to be hit. Children need discipline but not physical violence used against them. And no, no child can defend themselves against an adult. Even suggesting that makes you sound completely clueless and unbelievably ignorant.[/quote]
