was waiting at the busstop. a white guy, his filipina wife and beautiful blue eyed toddler waiting on the bench. the kid was just a kid. not even two years old i would guess. strange dynamic indeed: man sitting next to woman, woman next to baby. baby wants to wander. mom has her hands firmly in her coat pockets. man reaches over to secure the kid. the kid, again, just a baby, recoils in the classic "covering my head" with everything she has because she knows what comes next.

the koreans were aghast. with all eyes watching the little girl wasn't beat in public, but everyone could guess what happens when they get home.

if you gotta be old school and think it is right to beat your kid don't hit them on the head. that's the brainbox and hits to the head are cumulative.

or even better, don't beat your kids. my old man used to beat all of us when one of us messed up even a little bit. i try to let it slide but a huge chunk of resentment dwells yet.

How is this job-related?

Hell, what gives you the right to pass judgment? How do you know what happens?

[mistermasan]

yes you are correct wrong forum. my mistake.

you know may two year olds that know the "duck and cover the head up to the elbows" defensive posture? as stated in my wrongly placed posting- i know firsthand what it is to get beatings.

I'm about to hit you now. Take cover.

this title reminds me...
How do you kill women and children?
Its easy, just lead them less.

[Ilsanman]

Oh yeah, Koreans never hit their kids, right?

[Boodleheimer]

koreans don't believe in disciplining their children in public.

if he had taken the kid back to the apartment and beaten her, there wouldn't have been a problem.

Physical punishment might seem harsh.

I am certainly no proponent of physical punishment, especially against it when it is not your own kid.

But have you ever had a kid in a tantrum? As a father it pains me to sometimes have to hit my child to make him comprehend that his behavior is unacceptable.

And then there is hitting and hitting. My child doesn't go into a protective stance when I reach or grab for him. He knows that most of the time it is to get him out of harms way. I tell him before I hit him that if he does not stop his behavior that physical punishment will follow. 9/10 times it works.

Don't be to quick to decide on for others whether it is wrong or right. Parents don't like hitting their children, but circumstances sometimes dictate differently. Parents know what I am talking about.

Yeah, so is jay-walking, littering, smoking in no smoking areas, running red lights, speeding, prostitution, etc. I am glad I never see any of those.
