Spanking is abuse. If you have to use a belt. Its not abusive its just a way to get your childrens attention.
now....that question.......is a nice one.......... there can be the following cases: 1. he was just joking!!-ignore him 2. though he was joking he still was upto something-try to find out the reason behind it 3. he was serious-yes now that is a sort of ABUSE!!!
Oh honey, there are plenty of videos out there discussing the pros and cons of spanking. Just search for titles like "Spanking: To Swat or Not?" or "The Great Spanking Debate: Discipline or Damage?" But remember, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting, so take those videos with a grain of salt and use your own judgment.
No, only someone "of age" (18 years) can live without parental permission, If they do the parents can be charged with abuse.
Legally no but I would advise you to report any abuse. In some cases you can petition the court for what is called emancipation of minor. Essentially you become an adult.
Florida restricts all spanking as child abuse. Florida law states that any act that can physically or mentally hurt a child is considered child abuse and you can be charged with a felony for it.
If they are the ones doing the spanking (from permission of a parent) it is fine otherwise you probably don't want to watch the child being spanked First and foremost spanking is child abuse, There is no rationale for a child to be disciplined this way. Sitters should never, ever spank a child under any circumstances, It is child abuse.
if it is diciplenary by the child's parents yes(like spanking), but if it is parental abuse or abuse from any other person it is considered child abuse
You don't touch her without permission. It is sexual abuse and a crime. So, keep your hands to yourself unless you want to get into trouble.
Try to stay calm and let the mother of your child know ( that is if your on good terms) to not let the boyfriend physically discipline your child. Express how spanking is not a healthy way of discipline in the first place. Elaborate on the effects of such behavior such as rebellion from the child, resentment toward the mother from the child for letting her boyfriend carry out these unsolicited and inappropriate acts of unofficial stepfather aggression. Whatever it is he may have a issue with that would dry him to think he needs to do that needs to be handled by the real father, but no spanking. There are alot of repercussions for child abuse minor or major. This subject should be raised to the boyfriend and leave it up to his imagination to come up with what they are whether it comes from the law or the real daddy-there are consequences. ( Maybe real daddy should evaluate why he's not there to take care his own child )
u slightly spank him/her one time and then if they do it again u just keep on spanking your dog until he/she learns his lesson without abuse
No a petition can be filed on the behalf of the individual since she's a minor.
