I take issue with fathers hitting their daughters. Ok if it comes to a matter of how extreme the crime is, who decides what is extreme, to every father and in every culture that is different. Then it comes down to oh a slap isn't that bad it is not like he put her to the ground and kicked her. You know there was a time it was acceptable when parents took a flaming rod and burned their kids. That was OK too. I think a mom hitting her daughter is borderline abuse but lets not stretch that acceptability to fathers. Because fathers are men, and a girl's association to the world of men comes from how her father treats her. I fail to understand why people think pain induces respect and that is how you get your kids to listen to you, pain only induces fear and hate. Sure it might take longer to get through to your child if you don't hit them at that moment, that is the whole point of abuse it only looks at one moment of time not long term consequences. I am not saying that all kids who are abused grow up to be messed up, they might not and grow up to have wonderful relationships with their parents. But is that a guarantee not all children can forgive and forget and accept the reasons behind it. One slap, one kick, one punch and the kid will do what you want and they will but what happens tomorrow. Bottom line is know how to raise your kids properly it can be done with love, discipline can be achieved and you need lots of patience. Violence is the opposite of patience and if we think children can't be raised properly without raising our hand then we must rethink what it means to be a parent again.
