Discipline or Public Humiliation.......Has Child Abuse Gone Too Far?





Is broadcasted discipline child abuse?





We've all heard the saying "It takes a village to raise a child", or what about "spare the rod spoil the child"? Now back in the day, Big Momma had no problems with either of these. But in todays society, how we choose to discipline or reprimand our children in public or from the comforts of our own homes could have a negative effect on us as parents in the long run. Please view the first video on parents who had enough of their childrens behavior and how they chose to deal with it. Then, watch the second video on how a psychologist feels we should handle our children when we've had enough. Let me know what you think....post your comments.
