“I’m not annoyed with ALL children. Just badly behaved children, and parents who won’t parent.”
Several times I’ve been to a restaurant, or a graduation, or flown on a plane, or any other activity and there’s a screaming, rambunctious kid the parents won’t control. I have four and we always kept them in check. Mom was the tough one, she’d smack ‘em in public.
Try doing that today, and while most folks will applaud, some Karen or your kid will report you to child protective services and/or their school and you might lose your kid(s) and/or be arrested.
Spanking areas should be located at very public areas such as malls, town squares, etc.
Discipline of children should be allowed only in these public areas. The embarrassment to the kids should reduce the need for disciplining them.
Should a parent get carried away and take it too far, beating the kid, other parents and/or cops can pull the parent off before damage is done.
There should be pillories and stocks at the spanking area for those who don't "get it".
