Corporal Punishment, The Dimension of Abusing Children!
Spanking, Beating, Hitting Children until bruised, hurt or trauma
The effect of corporal punishment is a cruel physical pain children will experience instantly. Corporal punishment produces a cruel society of violence, has been recognized to be the connection of mental and emotional health issues and behavioral problems, and continues a legacy of discrimination throughout history.
Most states allow parents to physically hit their children as long as the coercion utilized is considered ?rational.? When cases of corporal punishment become extreme enough to constitute abuse it is likely the Department of Children and Families division or the courts will become involved. In these instances what is ?rational? differs by region and community calibers.
Corporal punishment is the infliction of physical pain upon a human beings body as punishment for a crime or infringement. In an extensive form, the term also denotes the physical disciplining of children in schools and at home.? Spanking, whipping, whooping, and paddling are all formats of corporal punishment. Frequently this type of action is carried out by adults using their hands, switches, belts, paddles, and in extreme cases of abuse, cords, spatulas, and wooden boards and other objects.
Currently, many states allow for corporal punishment in the public school system. Interestingly, one of these states is Florida.
In my research, one study reported, 65% of women and 77% of men agreed that corporal punishment is appropriate for children. The results of another report showed that 70-75% of mothers admitted to hitting a child under two-years of age and 5% admitted to using corporal punishment on a child younger than three months of age.
Mental health issues may not develop or become apparent until later in life, a data analysis was conducted over a twenty-year span linked to physical discipline. Mood disorders, panic disorder, anxiety disorders, aggressive/violent behaviors, depression, bi-polar, schizophrenia, and alcohol and substance abuse, have all been connected with having been hit as a child. It does not alternate whether the corporal punishment escalates to the level of abuse in a legal situation. The injury caused and affecting the child?s development in the psyche occurs when hit with any force.
Corporal punishment serves to legitimize violence in school and home settings. Children suffer humiliation and indignation and yet we want to tell our children not to hit others, hypocritical parenting is on the rise. Parenting and child relationships erode. As a result of corporal punishment the child grows with a lack of trust in adults. The cycle continues and the child withdraws socially and academically. This leads to our society and children suffering with a high drop-out rate in education. Ignorant parents continue to spank and whip their children because, as children, they were subjected to corporal punishment. This is how the cycle of ineffective parenting and in extreme cases of abuse it is moved from generation to generation.
