A couple years ago.. can't remember where it was... a young teen boy had to go to court for some delinquent act.. The judge asked the grandmother (guardian) what she felt the best punishment would be.. She said that if she knew she wouldn't get into trouble she would have taken a belt to his butt...
The judge stood up, took off his belt and held it out for her and said, "I think you're right."
We, who are older, can remember the, "ass whoopin's" we got.. I probably shoulda got more than I did..
If kids know that there is one of those ass whoopin's waitin if they mess up, they may do things a bit differently...
Too many kids today try to walk all over their parents because they think they have the, "abuse" card they can always play...
