Agree or not? I was talking to a guy 2 nite who said that years ago CPS was called on him because he spanked his g/f's 4 year old son. I told him that he was lucky to be alive because if ANYONE laid a finger on my daughter, I'd stab them to death?

Spanking is not against the law.. but what I don't like is when someone spanks someone else's kid. CPS probably couldn't do anything unless there were bruises anywhere else on the body. Anyone lays any hand on my kid besides my hubby or I, I would become unglued.
-
it isnt but spank aint kool uless they have prove that they found the kid doing something wrong. and since its the bf, depends how long the parent and him known each other.

I side with you, Lisa. Rest assured - somebody puts a hand on my child, they are going to draw back a stub where their hand once resided. He had no right to discipline another person's child. What an idiot! I would call CPS (called DFCS here in GEorgia) myself in a freaking heartbeat!
-
But if he was living on the premises and the little boy was being disrespectful or naughty surely that would be different. Or are we talking about child abuse.
-
I think you need to relax. Your daughter will start dating one day, and you just can't have that attitude around people she truly cares for.
-
Disciplining your own child is now against the law in the UK, which I think is absolutely ridiculous. But if somebody else touched my child, not that I have any, I'd break them into f*cking pieces.
-
I guess it depends on your definition of spanking? and how many smacks it intailed? if my son was way out of line or endangering his own safety,1 swift slap on the arse could be explained, but if the boy was literally knocking off his feet and id been in the room, could have dealt with it myself,i probley wouldnt stab them to death, but i wouldnt be impressed, but in saying that if it was my partner,and not some random fling, someone who my child respected and looked up to, i'd expect support in dissapline..... I dont have children so I guess I shouldnt really comment...

Of COURSE I agree with you if anyone ELSE laid a finger on your child. However, if you choose to spank your child, that's YOUR business, as long as you're not abusive about it. And yes, there IS a difference between spanking and abusive beating.
-
I think the idea of stabbing someone to death for touching your child is rather extreme, especially if you base it upon your example. They were partners, boyfriend/girlfriend, perhaps he had her permission to discipline the child? Spanking isn't allowed here and I am not a big fan of it, but a swat on the butt is not likely to cause permanent damage (that is swat and not beat). Two wrongs don't make a right.

I don't believe in any form of child abuse..I consider spanking to be child abuse. Where was the mother? Did she call CPS or did an outsider do it because he/she feared for the child's safety? Did the mother boot the guy out of her life or did she make excuses for him and continue the relationship? If someone touched my child, unless it was life-threatening, I wouldn't stab him/her to death and I'm sure you exaggerated to make a point. No one has to right to spank a child in my opinion..least of all an outsider. All that does is teach a child that physical abuse is o.k. when you're big..why would you want to teach your child that? Happy Wednesday! :)

I agree, i dont spank my kids so noone else can.:-)+
-
I don't agree with anyone hitting a child .. but i dont agree with an irrational out of control mother stabbing someone to death and therefore placing her child at much further risk of being harmed as a result of her lack of ability to care for it, because she's spending her life in prison.

Violence begets violence, including if you were to stab someone to death for violence. There are more appropriate ways to deal with this. It is not okay, but behaving in a like manner is not okay either.
