A wooden stick IS a switch! You don't spank a girlfriend.......unless she wants it. Get real.
And switches are weapons.
Nice to know you think that it's somehow OK to hit a FOUR YEAR OLD CHILD in a way that you wouldn't an adult. What if it had been Peterson's daughter, not his son? Would that have make it not OK, since it's "never OK to hit a girl"? That makes absolutely zero sense.
Spanking children.......boys and girls.....is sometimes needed. If you are one of those who say never spank a child.....we can't talk any more.
This is EXACTLY why there is no discipline in schools anymore.
I know kids who were never spanked or beat with a switch and never caused problems in school and were respectful. I know this first hand. That was myself and my brother and sisters.
I know kids ( my cousins) raised by my dads sibling that were the same age as us and were beaten with a belt and switch starting at a young age. They made problems in school and had problems with the police. I think your conclusion is flawed.
Respect and discipline are not taught with a belt, stick, palm or back of a hand. Teaching respect takes real parenting. My kids were never spanked or touched in anyway and I still get compliments to this day how well mannered and respectful they are. I take more pride in this then anything else

There is a difference between spanking a child and beating him excessively. Peterson went over the line. Frankly, I can't believe anyone who understands the facts of that case would think any different. That kind of child abuse should be criticized not excused.
I'm not excusing child abuse. Just saying discipline is sometimes needed. I don't know all the details on the Peterson case.

Let’s not get confused here, there is a difference between beating the crap out of your kid like Peterson did and minor spanking, I got spanked occasionally and it was never s traumatic experience. I will say as a young boy what was worse than a spanking was getting sent to bed at 4 in the afternoon. My live in girlfriend has a 7 year old son who is a part time terror and part time well behaved child, basically a normal 7 year old boy. We both punish him when necessary by taking things away like TV, Bike ect..He is not my blood son so I would never lay a hand on him regardless but I do occasionally suggest to my girlfriend that he might need a smack on the rear end when he acts up really bad so I’m not advocating spanking all the time but I’m not opposed to it if used lightly
When I was in grade school every teacher had a paddle in their room and if that didn't work, which it usually did, you were sent to the principals office who had a BIGGER paddle. This took care of all problems. Now they don't even have paddles anywhere because if you spank little Johnny or Suzy their parents come in and give the school heck. Sounds like some of those parents post here. That's why schools are the way they are. And anyone here that does not know this you are living in LaLa land.
When I got in trouble at school......I was in worse trouble when I got home, which is the way it should be.
Someone please take my temperature, because I'm about to side with D-man again.
I'll never forget one "memorable" episode after lunch in 3rd grade. I got into a scrap with another snot-nosed kid, and off to the principal's office I went. After a quick call to my parents (I think I heard my dad say "Can I help?" or "Want me to bring the popcorn?"), my ass began smooching wood. Suffice to say, I never got out of line again. Let me say that again. After the unforgettable "licks" I endured, I never once acted a fool. Had someone calmly told me to knock it off, the likelihood of something similar transpiring again would have been in the neighborhood of a certainty.
I remember in gym class in the 1960's if a student acted up the gym teacher had a wooden paddle with holes drilled into it. This wooden paddle spanked the backside of many students who acted up. Once paddled, most students did not act up a second time. Many parents would support the use of the paddle on their kids at school if they did not follow the rules.
Ok I can only go back to the mid 70’s but I remember vividly getting smacked by teachers in Elementary school. True story, Mr.Foley was a very old school teacher
I went to parochial school from kindergarten through high school and got my share of slaps in the face from the Marist brothers.
But I think Mark makes an excellent point in that parenting is a lot more than inflicting corporeal punishment and that if you are relying on that method to assert discipline to your kid, you're not doing a very good job at patenting in the first place.
As I said before, also, there's a world of difference between spanking a child and what AP did. What AP did was abuse. I can't imagine anyone here condoning that and if they did, I'd say they were clueless about what it takes to be an effective parent. Such abuse has no place in a civilized society.

That's exactly right, and wives with credit cards ought to be ashamed of themselves. The money they waste on frivolous items that they buy, we could be using that money for coins and cards.

That doesn't even deserve an answer! Come on man!
That's a funny way of saying "I can't do it".
No, it's my way of saying you are silly! But if your little mind must have an answer...…..a weapon is a gun, knife, ball bat, tire iron etc.. Something that can kill or badly harm someone. A switch CAN NOT do that!

Calling a switch a weapon just seems crazy to me.
Sometimes dimewoman is a "bad girl".
If any parent needs to resort to spanking as a discipline then that person is doing a crappy job as parent.
