not that I was a bad kid, you understand, but back then, spanking was the norm. I wonder who turned this guy into the 'authorities'? link to story CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. � A state appeals court has ruled that a Long Island father used reasonable force when he spanked his 8-year-old son for cursing at an adult.
Newsday says the state Appellate Division dismissed a child neglect proceeding against the man last week.
The father had used the disciplinary action in October 2012 during a party at a friend's house.
The Suffolk County social service department alleged he used an open hand and a belt on the boy's buttocks, legs and arms after they got home. A county family court found him in neglect.
But the appellate division said under the circumstances the spanking "did not constitute excessive corporal punishment." It said there was insufficient evidence to prove he hit his son with a belt.

Same here. And we never cussed adults, at least not where we could be heard.

I wonder who turned this guy into the 'authorities'? Why the kid of course! I was brought up the same way, but "adults" were different then too. I don't agree w/ kids cursing adults, but some "adults" sure don't act like one.

Same here. And we never cussed adults, at least not where we could be heard. I got the ass whoopin of my life when I cussed my Grandma under my breath and at a distance. Turns out she was deaf all those years, and could read lips. And there was nothing wrong with her eyesight, apparently. Grandpa was wearing me out with belt leather and all the while I'm going, "What did I do? What did I do?" My cousin later told me what the deal was...

only time my Dad actually hit me, was when I was in high school. Mom had asked me, for the 20th time, to clean up my room. Not knowing Dad was home, I told her "Gee Mom, don't get bent out of shape over it". A tap on the shoulder, a pop on the jaw. Down like a sack of oats. Never forgot that lesson, and I NEVER spoke disrespectfully to Mom again.

Yeah, I remember telling dad to 'get off my back' one time.
He threw a picnic table complete with Sunday lunch at me. Don't remember too much after that.

In high school, i went into another room and gave dad the finger.
It was silhouetted on the wall.
He chased me around the dining table, while my brother called mum at work telling her to come home, that he was going to kill me.
I messed up, and ran into the living room, cornering myself, and was tackled.
I covered up the best I could until it was over.
I didn't tug on Superman's cape for awhile after that.
Aaaaaah, mem-ries.

On one hand , I do not like the idea of hitting an 8 year old kid. On the other,if he did cuss at an adult,well,WTF ,he probably needed a lesson.

STXHunter,
Only you and your brothers know if it was a beat down -vs- a spanking.
