It was never really the pain of the whack you got but the entire ordeal of being singled out take it out into the hall etc....

Got swats many times in Junior High. From the Assistant Principal and the Art Teacher who had a nice paddle with holes drilled in it.

Was Mr. Kovach the Asst. Principal?

the key word in the indictment is "injury"....he was indicted for "reckless injury"....for beating his 4 year old kid...not a 10 year old, not a 12 year old, but a 4 year old.....and remember this was a jury of 12 texans....not some jury from massachusetts or vermont.....they saw the evidence photos/etc. and agreed it went beyond the "legal"limit for discipline.....if you want to argue, go to texas.....

as horrific as some of the stuff was back in the 'good old days' it makes me laugh when the youngins on the board here call us the old guys.

half of them would still be hiding underneath their beds with the shit we saw and went through.

It's crazy chit all around.

Suspend him and move on.

Also, although he's never stated in publicly people close to him say he has at least 7 kids by multiple women. another Antonio Cromartie in the making there.

well daughters have all been pretty much off limits. i don't remember ever hearing about girls getting 'disciplined' like the boys back in the day. a smack on the butt or the hands when reaching for the hot stove was and is an appropriate reaction.

times have changed. the real problem like in the AP case is a lot of people's minds haven't. like cal said it's a cycle and someone has to be the one to break it.

the first was during lunch in middle school where they lined 10 of us boys up against the wall for doing something stupid and went down the line cracking us in the ass.

the second i was lucky to be able to walk the F home. that would have been considered child abuse. it was always the smaller sadistic fuck who had the shop teacher make him a special paddle with holes drilled through it to make it more aerodynamic. this dude wound up on me like nolan ryan for 10 of the hardest hits i've ever had in my life. the teacher was actually a close friend of my dad. didn't get it. but believed me i wished the worse on that piece of shit for the rest of his miserable life.

@miktoxic said:

anyone on here over 40 that says they never got their ass beat by their parents is either lying, gay or grew up with a pastor as a father.

remeber the paddle in school? guarnatee anyone under 30 doesn't. beat and humiliated in front of your peers. that's one way to get your attention.

Spanked? Sure... but hand only and then sat in a corner (a "timeout" before it was called a timeout) to think about what I had done. I hated that corner.

Yup... we called school paddling "swats"...

@slowburn said:

ap lost control. for that spit second when he crossed the line he forgot he had options.

I spanked my daughter... one spank each time.

The first time I explained what she had done and what I was going to do.

The second I reacted in anger over something that seemed important in the moment. Worse yet, I had asked her, "Did you do this?" and she told the truth. Not my proudest moment...

There was no third time.

a kid i knew from another friend got heavy into drugs. i used to sell him weed in high school. well one night in sandusky a block away from where my friend lived was the 'black' side of the tracks and they had some bustling bars and a couple of whore houses. the kid waited on the side of a car across the street from said whore house and pulled the trigger of a crossbow with the arrow or bolt going right through the victim and stuck into the door behind him.

it was the first murder trial in america that was allowed to be televised. david lang vs. erie county.

found out he used to get beat by his drunk racist father, his mom was a cheating _________ and he turned to drugs to phase out of his bad situation.

so you either beat them to teach them right from wrong or you beat them to turn into the same thing you are, maybe even worse.

got divorced while i was in germany. didn't fight the wife on custody. god knows i would have been a terrible dad. some people just aren't cut out for it. while i was in NY running the streets my ex was raising a well adjusted beautiful daughter who has turned into a great mom herself and has blessed me with 2 granddaughters and a step-grandson (?).

break the cycle and put it away forever in the past.

Abuse creates a hidden anger in the abused, and the abused

vents in violence because....

Meanwhile, the pics of AD's kid are horrific -

but the Vikings has just announced that they are going to let

Peterson play the next game.

Seriously?

You're right MIk- got the hell beat out of me- of course I set off a couple of fireworks in a closet. BTW, the last time my dad too a swing at me, I ducked- and he busted his hand on one of those old cast iron radiators. Me and my brother actually laughed. Sometimes, kids can teach parents a lesson.
