I don't really believe it b/c I was spanked until I was about 7 or 8 (then mom started grounding me if I got in trouble) and my IQ is really high. I don't remember the exact number, but my uncle, who is in mensa, said I could join if I wanted. Now I could see a BEATING lowering an IQ by causing some brain damage, like if they hit their head or anything like that, but a spanking is on the butt, so I just don't see it.
There's a HUGE difference between discipline & abuse. Due to my smart ass mouth & have it my way attitude, I've had my fair share of ass whippings (last one at about age 11 or 13), but I've never been beat to the point where the authorities should've or would've been called (with the exception of the teenage incident when I called my mother a bitch & now that I'm grown & have a child of my own, I had that coming).
I think it's bullshit. If that's the case, Some of those who've been raised before that Child Abuse law came into place should be dumber than a bunch of rocks.
They'll say anything to stop folks from Whoopin' there kids asses. I think most of those who make these are those who got whooped as kids for being Bad asses and they were so "Traumatized" that they wanna save other kids from "going through what I did". Simple. Do as your parents say and you won't get your ass whooped. SIMPLE. Granted, ever child don't NEED it..but when they DO, GO AHEAD!
black people dont usually have any intention to learn a damn thing on their own anyway..
and beating your kids is not a good thing..
and i beat my kids... here and there.. i didnt grow up with a father and my moms couldnt beat me since i was 13.. i used to laugh at her.... i mean really, laugh...
I still carry the notion in my head that beating a kid is a normal activity...
but its a SLAVE mentality.. SLAVES..
but i have read up on the subject... so many avenues to look at things.. to expand our minds..
opinions should be based on alot more than our own experiences anyway...
stop beating your kids and watch how fast they take over this effed up planet ...
i got onto this late.. i will mostly avoid beating my kids..

ReplyDeleteNo shit Sherlock....
ReplyDeleteThis one article I came across & shared. I didn't do any research & have no intentions on doing so.

ReplyDeleteMy sentiment exactly!
