So im watching tv and this ad comes on with a rose and kids laughing. The the rose gets cut and a voice over comes on that says

"Spanking hurts more than you think. Parenting is hard, but it shouldn't hurt."

And the ad is from the Toronto Board of Health.

I personally think this ad is very offensive and an abuse of taxpayer money. They are implying here that parents who spank their kids are some sort of criminal or social pariah. In effect, they are calling my parents who werent afraid to give me a good smack when i deserved it, child abusers.

The fact that this ad is being aired is bad enough, but what is really offensive is that they are using taxpayer money to fund it. I'm sick and tired of governments and special interest groups trying to push their lifestyles and beliefs on our society and then going a step beyong by making anyone who doesnt agree with their point of view look like a social pariah.

I am lodging a complaint with the CRTC online this afternoon. Enough is enough

hahahahahaha

I grew up with an easter european father, so like others here, I know what it is growing up by the hard hand.

I would never make my kids go through what I have, however from my experience, and all child/adolescent psychology courses offered at OU, a tap on the butt is not to make the pain that makes the kid remember what's wrong. It's the embarassment caused by the tap that is enduring.

I believe the butt should be the only place where a hand should lay if a child does not respond to vocal coaching.

the subjectivity related to the debate of whether you can on cannot; should or should not hit you child is unreal. If I had kids, and I hit them and the feds came knocking at my door, I would laugh. Both parties have a fighting chance of winning in court.

Someone needs to take this nonsense to court, win and set a legal precedence that allows parents to take back control of their homes.

My kid comes home after causing a rukus at school, fighting, swearing etc etc....their ass is getting the spoon...end o' story.

your assumptions, exaggerations and bias in this post are laughable.

so from that quote, YOU have interpreted it that parents who spank their kids are implied to be "criminals", "social pariahs" and "child abusers".

um...or maybe they may be suggesting that it's easy to hit a kid...not so easy to communicate, teach and PARENT a kid. Parents are becoming increasingly detached from their kids lives and perhaps teaching them a silly "might makes right" lesson by physically punishing or intimidating them into listening to you isn't the best option.

The extensions you make are ridiculous.

Wait a minute here.

There is a fine line between an occasional swat to a kid that's pushed his parents to the brink ….. and full-on child abuse. It's hard for parents to always know where that line is.

I think the ads are intended to be a reminder to parents to keep any corporal punishment "in check".

I believe that too much physical punishment can be pretty damaging to a kid. (And, guess what THAT kid's going to do to his kids when he grows up? yep.)

when kids get beat by an object, i think that's where the line should be drawn. totally uncalled for.... although, i was threatened regularly with the 'wooden spoon' for years, by the time my mom got the nerve to use it on me I was 16, bigger than her, and the spoon had evaporated into a thin twig with a round end and snapped at the point of contact.

a simple spanking is all you need, to inject a certain level of fear that will stay in the kids head the next time they decide to go against their parents wishes or be out of line. scars and bruises should never be part of a childs learning process.
