This is the kind of willful obtuseness the poster upthread is talking about.
- savingthrow 8y agoI'm not asking people to treat children as adults. I'm just saying that hitting a child is always as abusive as hitting an adult, and often more so because the child has no chance of escape. There are many ways of parenting, and msot of them do not include violence against the child. This is why hitting children is illegal in many countries. Never mind treating children as adults: how about we treat them as humans, with rights that need to be protected?
