Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 All in favour of "appropriate" smacking, but it would appear from other reports that this guy had previous convictions for assault and similar. (Though not in relation to his kid). Quote

Matt Seabrook Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 SMACKING FATHER HITS OUT A father who was ordered to stay away from his young son after smacking him has hit out at the court system. The 41-year-old was spotted by an off-duty detective lashing out at the three-year-old. The punishment was so harsh the boy flew up in the air, witnesses said. Is this discipline or venting frustration and anger I am a firm believer in chastisement but this man went to far from what I can see from the news reports. Quote
samcooke Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Read the full story and it explains that he was hitting the child over and over again and members of the public were so worried they notified the police. And remeber that this child was three years old. Can't help thinking he should have got worse. Quote
Mike H Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Aw come on the kid was probably jumping in the air to avoid the smacks. I'll get my coat. Quote

Once.... Then she became your 5 year old..... LOL !!! Not yet. But she realised that daddy can be quite scary when she pushes her luck too far.... Actually had to help her learn an important lesson the other day. They have self-service check-outs in the supermarket we use and some muppet has decided it's a good idea to put a pick'n'mix sweet stand right next to them.... I told Erin not to touch them and she was generally staying away and helping me but as we left she had an impish little grin on her face. I asked her if she'd taken a sweet (it seemed the most likely cause) and she giggled guiltily. So, without any raised voices, smacks or throwing her in the air I explained that it was called stealing, it was against the law and that the police would have to come and speak to her unless she went and gave the sweet back to the check-out assistant immediately and apologised, which she did very sheepishly. She was absolutely mortified and kept asking me not to tell mummy, but I think she learned her lesson Quote

Is that an excuse? I don't think so Quote
