How could any sane person believe it is in any way proper to beat, not spank but BEAT, a two year old? I'm not a violent person, but seeing that.... well....


Here's the story.

I'm glad they got the mother too. She should lose custody and the guy, he's in no way a man, should be in prison until the girl turns 21.

This is about the 4th story I've heard about some guy trying to "toughen up" a small child. Where do these idiots get such an idea?

They get that idea from their own parents, usually; that's where my dad got his ideas of "teasing," which was his euphemism for engaging in cruelty.

But yeah, a 2 year old is in no way capable of understanding such a thing; all they know is that the one who's supposed to love them is hurting them...and likely grow up with that perverted thought firmly embedded in their minds, that love involves hurting and beatings.

And yes, something's wrong with the formatting of the link; if you r-click on it then click "properties," you can see where the link was supposed to go, maybe; i deleted all the irrelevant stuff and tried to click on what remained, to no avail, either.

I teased my daughters, but NEVER in a cruel or degrading way. They would even tease me back. It was all in fun. I do understand that "teasing" can be used as a way to put the child down, or "in it's place." That's just bad parenting.

That's all a two year old can understand; someone they love is hurting them.

Bullsh**!!


You're not going to "toughen" a kid up by beating them, you're just going to traumatize them.

Maybe they should lock the jerk in the UFC octagon with heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos. He'd quickly learn what getting toughened up was all about.

"When it shall be said in any country in the world, my poor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want, the taxes are not oppressive; the rational world is my friend, because I am a friend of its happiness: When these things can be said, then may the country boast its constitution and its government." -- Thomas Paine: The Rights Of Man (1791)

I just saw an article about a 40-something year old man arrested for sexually abusing a 2 year old...

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize what you heard was not what I meant...

I am not a violent person, but people that abuse children bring out a side of me, I don't like . I am against the death penalty, but for a child abuser I would reconsider.

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. Aristotle
