Definitely. The thing is, we've known this for decades. Parents still doing it don't have ignorance as an excuse.

So you're just saying hitting kids should be illegal? Seems like common sense, since hitting adults is already illegal. Having an exception for parents does not make much sense to me.

Just when you say parental autonomy that sounds like a much broader concept that applies to a lot of other topics.

Which subreddit is your post in? Asking for a friend.

That's still not doing what the rule says. It's not about sourcing the contents of your post. The entire post should be a link to a specific politics related article where the title of the post is the title of the article.

Everything can be political when broken down, but this isn't the community for this type of post. I can't tell you what's a better place for this, but it's not here.

It would more likely but correlation, not cause. Because the parent that spanka a lot out of anger not ask a consequence is going to be shitty at parenting in general and not provide support for learning nor get support for a child that needs help. If you instantly halted spanking it doesn't fix the type of parent, you'd still have kids dealing with a shit parent.

I'm not condoning spanking. We had eras before any hands off thought, and the children had a wide range of achievement. I think its less impact then the overall environment and what the child is capable of. A parent that doesn't spank but tells their kid they are a pice of shit for being dumb, is just as impactful

Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
