Why should we make an exception for assault laws when the victim is very young and is related to their attacker? If a 24 year old man uppercuts his 16 year old sister for giving him lip, or lays her over his knee and spanks her, how is that any different from a 24 year old father doing the same to his 4 year old daughter? How do you determine where to draw that line?

Striking a child is harmful and it's just lazy parenting. All it does is teach the child that "rather than talking out the issue, all I have to do in order to get what I want from someone is inflict enough pain until they give in".

Assault is assault, regardless of whether it's your family member or if they're 2 years old.

I don't think the state should dictate how to raise children, and should intervene only when absolutely needed. Corporeal punishment may be necessary with some kids. I understand, it as far more common in the past, and those generations were OK.

It's not about dictating how to raise children- it's about dictating that "It's not right to strike someone under any circumstances besides self-defense or the old 'swatting a child's hand away before he touches a hot stove'". In other words, children should be learning early on that violence is an option to turn to when there is a danger present.

Corporal punishment is not necessary for any children. For a great example of how it doesn't work, look at niggers. Almost every single nigger you speak to will have a story about being relentlessly beaten by foreign objects or spanked by their mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and sisters. Any time they fucked up, mama was there with an electrical cord to whip them. And how do blacks turn out?

I know that it's a little unfair to compare human child discipline to that of African child discipline- it's almost like comparing how you discipline a little boy to how you would discipline a dog; but the stats are in my favor when it comes to Whites as well. Kids that get beaten for punishment often show deviant behavior as they grow older.
