So in a way, it was just as effective as getting a SPANKING! 😱
Nah, it was more effective. Spanking usueally only infuriates the child if anything. Makes them want to rebel more to get back at their parents for hitting them.
I had good parents though, so this was never a problem. I never really acted up because they gave me the positive attention I needed as a child, which in turn made me feel loved, which in turn made me happy and thus I had no urge to act up.

Yeah, those big college degrees mean nothing, huh? I'm sure some lazy father who hits their kids whenever they do something wrong knows way more about the psyche of a child then someone who spent half of their life studying it. Makes sense.
Well....I'm an idiot to speak against your logic.
But I'll stay that way. 😉
Ah....
BlackC@t> It's called having her arrested....sheesh......🙄
"She stabbed me first!" 🙄
That's like me saying, "They beat the shiza outta' me first, nigga'!"

Punishment is generally ineffective, especially negative punishment (i.e., spanking) because the child will almost certainly do it again when he or she cannot be caught. Positive and negative reinforcement, however, are much more effective for promoting positive behavior and discouraging negative behavior.
Negative reinforcement is punishment.
Ok so this guy robbed my friend who is small and cant do much so I went up to the guy and we exchanged word and then he ounched me in the face then I did the same then one of his friends came over and I stabbed him around the armpit area. Then I beat the guy up who robbed my friend, and robbed him back.

Actually phycologists have found that hitting children solves nothing, usually it only makes matters worse, seeing as it gives children some attention, which is what children want usually when they misbehave. So, say a child does something wrong and the parent comes and starts hitting them or spanking them, the child will see that as an act of love and attention, and will continue to misbehave more and more so that they can continue to get that type of attention. This is especially bad when the parents ignore children when acting good, but start to yell and give them negative attention when they are being a brat. It will only give them more reason to act up more and more, so that the parents will continue giving them attention.Physical discipline is always a sign of sloppy, lazy parenting and should be avoided at all times. There are better ways (both morally and in that they work better) to punish/discipline children. The best thing to do if you're child is acting up is to ignore them completely. Give them NO attention, that's the biggest punishment you can give a kid.
Spoken like someone who has never had children. Just to clarify I am NOT a sloppy nor a lazy parent. I stay home with my kids and do my level best to raise them right. I do the counting thing, i do timeout, i take away toys and priveleges & i reward good behavior. But at the end of the day that stuff is generally uneffective. So I spank them when it needs to be done. I dont hurt them. It is a kids job to push the limits, and it is MY job to make sure they know there are consequences to pushing those limits. Trust me, I'll put my kids up against a shrink's kids who have only ever gotten a talking to any day of the week. And when given a choice as to who is next to you in the grocery store line, I GUARANTEE you would rather have my kids there.
As for this particular guy, the kid obviously has problems to begin with. But, having already had a record of doing this he should have known better and thus deserves the time. AND that kid does not need to go back to see his dad until alot of issues have been dealt with.

I know how the guy feels, robbing places.
One time, I stole a loaf of bread, put it in the fridge until it was very hard, and then robbed a bank with it!
