I know this is going to be unpalatable to parents, but “abusive parents” aren’t scary anomalies that exist only on the news, broadcast solely to make you feel better about your own faults. There are abusive parents in your neighborhood. There are probably abusive parents in your workplace, friend circle, and even among your family. If you want to be a good parent, then it’s your duty to learn what behaviors are abusive, learn the warning signs of abuse, and do the work to help when you learn that a child in your social sphere is being abused.
iirc the statistics on just spanking are between 70-90% of parents
child abuse isn’t just common it’s literally the norm
SPANKING KIDS ISNT CHILD ABUSE 😂
ya guys literally hitting a small child even tho you’re an adult and should be able to handle a kid making a mistake better than that isn’t abuse! it’s okay for adults to hit small children as long as you call it “spanking” /sarcasm
don’t ever fucking have kids you monster
Spanking is the first sign that you do not respect your child.
Any action that causes physical harm to a child is abuse, point blank. An adult should not have to resort to physical violence to make a child understand why something they did was wrong. Just because things like spanking and throwing objects at children are normalized in your culture (speaking as a latinx living in latin america) doesn’t mean it’s okay, or that you have to do it because it makes children disciplined or whatever. It’s abuse, and it needs to stop. Stop acting like physical abuse is a funny meme because it fucking isn’t.
