there is no consensus on human rights, what charter are you referring to?
if you're talking legally, the state has the ability to override individuals rights when they break the law.
extending this to a home, parents have the right to override a childs rights when they break the law. |
Uhh, parents have no authority to enforce state legislation. They are just private citizens like anyone else.
:wtf: |

Oh, I thought we were talking about CP. Never mind then.
These things suck as well... |

You studied human rights, well I've studied child and family development, psychology, AND children's rights. Human rights are at the very core of what I do, lol.
From the UN Convention:
Article 19 (Protection from all forms of violence): Children have the right to be protected from being hurt and mistreated, physically or mentally. Governments should ensure that children are properly cared for and protect them from violence, abuse and neglect by their parents, or anyone else who looks after them. In terms of discipline, the Convention does not specify what forms of punishment parents should use. However any form of discipline involving violence is unacceptable. There are ways to discipline children that are effective in helping children learn about family and social expectations for their behaviour – ones that are non-violent, are appropriate to the child's level of development and take the best interests of the child into consideration. In most countries, laws already define what sorts of punishments are considered excessive or abusive. It is up to each government to review these laws in light of the Convention.
Your problem seems to be that you don't equate corporal punishment with abuse, when the fact is that ANY form of CP IS abuse. |
lol i know that... did you read the rest of the post, or just stop after you saw i studied them?

if you're talking morally, there is no consensus at all, moral rights are created and passed on from parent to child: When moral rights are broken people must deal with the ramifications.

i know what human rights doctrines claim. I also know that they are words which 1: Are biased, 2: Are not enforced, and 3: are constantly overlooked... especially the UN charter.
Its nice talking about theory, and i said multiple times i agree, corporal punishment should not be necessary, but I'm talking about practice. |

LOL I'm saying parents have the right to handle the rules they setup within their own home, just as state leaders have the right to handle rules they setup within their state |

Any person who doesn't think these things are abuse has clearly got a few screws loose:
hitting, kicking, shaking or throwing, scratching, pinching, biting, pulling hair or boxing ears, forcing children to stay in uncomfortable positions, burning, scalding, or forced ingestion
All of those things are considered "reasonable force" in Canada's Criminal code in the section condoning corporal punishment. Are you ing kidding me??? Lol |
good god jenny, have you read any of my posts????
i'm starting to feel crazy over here:
are adults and children the same? do they have the same level of conscious development? please answer.
also, where did i ever say any of those things were ok? i didn't, i was talking about light spanking, or physical correction, not kicking and all that ffs.
I think its ok to hit your child in a light way, i obviously do not condone abuse (overly violent correction) |

That's even better, you don't need to go all the way to Ontario now! Give him a hut somewhere in the plains (preferably near a pond) and he'll probably live off bird drops and eventual stuff you give him when he comes over to lecture your kids! Who doesn't love their uncle!?
Bonus points if his name is Henry. |
no his name is jovan.. :sadgreen: |

| All right, just before I go to bed: What do you mean by CP, Jenny? I got it's something related to child violence, but I've got something completely unrelated in my head when I think of it. |

No, they aren't the same. Children are considered a vulnerable population, which is exactly why you shouldn't ing hit them to teach them a lesson.
Now answer my question: you think it's ok to abuse children?? ANY form of hitting is abuse, my friend. No matter which way you want to paint it make yourself feel better. ;) |

thank the gods, you read it :p
if they're not the same then why are you measuring them by adult standards?
:rolleyes:
fine i condone abuse. cbf really, you're not going to agree no matter what i say. if you re-read my posts you might understand my point, but i doubt it.
so re-read wiener's last few posts (skipping the ones about her brother :p ) and maybe you'll see what i'm trying to say.
The world isn't that ing simple, hopefully if you have kids you'll be able to get past the text-books and figure out a way to deal with reality.
light physical reprimands are not all bad, they're something that kids can UNDERSTAND (kids you yourself admit are NOT at adult levels of intellect), and something parents can succesfully utilise (for parents who aren't able to live in this idiotic utopia you claim all parents must live in before they can have a child.
edit: Also, the whole human rights thing is redundant: Parent-child relations are different than those existing between citizens: I don't in any way condone any kind of physical contact between kids and other adults. the connection between a child and their parent is entirely different, and so, human rights regulations are a bit silly. I don't think the UN charter would extend to children, unless you warped them to suite your own agenda-- they don't have most freedoms outlined, the parent is their guardian and defines what is right for them. |
