Excellent point.
Those backpack leash things have always amused me. My son didn't have to suffer through that indignity

oh like someone is going to come to the rescue for a brat they want nothing to do with. I hope the kid never see's their mom again just to teach them what being a drama queen gets you.

I was going to say I'd do the same to her but my winch can only handle 8000lbs.

Visible marks? So what?? Not the right way to handle a kid but arrested and held without bail? Felony child cruelty? What a buncha drama queens.

I have sole custody of my child. She never even gets a spanking. She would never dare act like that though. All he had to do was get up and walk. Go ahead and coddle yours if you like, but don't expect society to follow.

Guess what? Caps lock is not an intelligence enhancer. Everyone who read that is now more stupid for having done so. I used to get the crap beat outta me as a kid. I did'nt always deserve it but I usually did. I'm not suicidal, homicidal,criminal, disrespectful ,or even really angry. Kids need discipline. This kid is not being traumatized, he is throwing a temper tantrum.I didnt see him hit any corners- did you? I thought not. Why did'nt you add the part where she dragged him down stairs over br More..

That is pretty screwed up dragging that kid like that. I'm sure the kid was acting like a little shit, but this shouldn't of happened.
I think kids should be disciplined in private, but if he's not gonna budge how do you get him out?

Waiting to discipline children in private increases the time between the offense and the resulting discipline, which nullifies the point of discipline. The longer you wait, the less they understand WHY they are being disciplined. That is just child psychology.
Parents SHOULD discipline their children in public, not for the benefit of the child but for the public to become less stigmatized by it. Discipline is a good and necessary thing.
However, this IS child abuse. Any "parent" that More..

Agreed! I've seen kids curse out their parents and smack their mother with no consequences. I doubt the kid was really hurt.

Exactly. That is the correct thing to do. By dragging him, YOU look like the bad guy. Unless you can show proof of earlier bad behavior you don't have a LARGE/FAT leg to stand on.

Screw the fooken child abuse comments. The kid was probably being a brat. The mother had it and sad screw it you wanna act up here ya go. Toughen up you BONEHEADS the problem with our society is everyone want to talk and reason. BULL SHIT! Pop to the head once in while words wonders. When parents used to do that our society was much more enriched.

The poster of the video had better not be in Australia, else he can expect a knock on the door by 'authorities'. Ask Biggles9 about it.

Excellent point!
As for the brat.
It is that woman's off-spring and her choice of discipline is entirely up to her. NOT the government and NOT any other nose plucker.

Cruelty? I might be too old, but I remember back in the day we would get an ass whooping immediately, on the spot, and we would never do it again. Oh, and there was less crime back then. Our parents, neighbors and authority was respected. Now we have liberal judges deciding what is and isn't abuse. Leave parenting to the parents.
