Let me be the first so say... HOT!

Florida indeed!

It's not her fault, it's her mommas...cuz momma said knock you out

So.

Isn't there suppose to be a point?

The Not news, news, fark stuff needs to be something meh, hmmm, whoa. This doesn't cut it.

The brit who kept his family captive and sired 19 kids with his 2 daughters, now that might have cleared the bar. This just fell flat.

Whose your daddy, biatch?

WTF? So it would be okay for him to premeditated hit her but not for her to hit him? That ends in arrest? Nice.

Any grown man spanking his 16 yr old daughter should be arrested. That's just pervy, period.

Parenting? In Florida? That's unpossible.

I'd pay good money to see that video.



/by pay, i mean download it for free

Maybe she should have stopped acting like a brat. The last spanking I recieved was when I was fifteen. I deserved every lash and the humiliation that came with knowing I farked up. Maybe being in jail will make her think twice about acting like a vital part of the Spoiled Whore Happy Fun Playset. Just saying.

Can't she plead self-defense? I don't know of any law that explicitly protects a right to spank your offspring.

Spank your 16 year old daughter? I guess the Christmas family get together with the relatives is gonna have some awkward conversations this year.

spank a 16 yr old? what a idiot, he could take away her ipod or cellphone

Listening to my parents try and deal with my little sister the other day, I couldn't help but think she could use a good smackin' to set her straight.

Is it too late to drop her off in Nebraska?

/just askin'

Why does it feel like this story is a troll and the reporter is just from /b/ and trying to start an "Epic Wincest" thread?

There was a point as a child where physical harm, or the threat of it, was no longer a deterrent and was held by me to be a universally hostile act.

That point, if crossed, would result in retaliation or preventative action.

It came when I was around 9 or 10 and could be reasoned with rather than operated on a simple reward/punishment system.

Let's see here... 16 - 10 = 6. Yep, six years past the point where this will be anywhere near effective, pervert.

As a social worker, I always tell parents it is legal to spank their kids (they usually think they'll get arrested for it) but they cannot leave a mark on them. However, I always tell them it may be unwise to spank a teenager, as things like this article can happen.

At what point in a family situation is it finally absurd to get the government involved? Kids, believe it or not, act up. Sometimes they act up violently. It's a weak and ineffective parent who has to call the cops because their kid fought back, especially if you've taught them all their lives that the way to deal with problems is through violence.

This thread is useless wit....

reminds me of the south park episode elementary school musical.

Meh. This thread is worthless w/out pics of the daughter.

I dunno, it seemed to work out fine from the father's point of view. Admittedly he didn't get to spank his daughter, but it does look like she's going to receive some sort of punishment. And all it took was him getting punched (repeatedly).

God forbid he keep his kid in check. A spanking is not abuse.

There's other ways to punish a teen besides spanking, taking away her PC would be one

This. You spank a 16 year old, you're either a creeper or looking to get punched by a hormone fueled freak of nature.

A good spanking set me straight about a lot of things. Until the last one, I didn't do what my Dad thought I had, and when he found out, it was the first time in my life that he apologized to me.

/doesn't plan on spanking his kids
//much better (and more amusing) methods out there

Usually there are different levels of involvement, at least with Indiana CPS. In a case like this they would do what's called a "safety plan" where they have the parents and child agree to a set of rules in the household. Most parents are afraid of getting the government involved because they think they will be the ones in trouble. CPS actually works with both sides to ensure that the family functions without the need for forceful government intervention.

Sim Tree: So at what age are you no longer allowed to spank kids? Does it go right up until 17 years 364 days 23 hours?

Yes, provided they move out at that point. If not, it's ass-whoopin central.

What did the redneck girl say after losing her virginity?

Git up, Daddy. Yur crushin mah smokes.

My daughters knew that, at any age, they would be spanked like a spoiled child if they acted like a spoiled child. Neither required spanking after the age of six (or so), but knew it was always an option and acted accordingly. There's too little information in the article to really determine what happened.

Yes, in a way it worked out. CPS usually tries to make it work out without one party going to jail though.

You've been a naughty girl, Go to MY room.

Nah, I don't think it's abuse either. But it just seems a bit... off to be spanking your 16 year old kid. That could be seen as borderline creepy I think. I don't think it was intentionally 'pervy' on the Dad's part (without further context I like to assume the best) but I think it was a bad idea.

Parents who are unable to discipline their children without violence are failures and should not have had children in the first place.

In regards to a 16-year-old, no, it's not abuse. It's just odd and a little disturbing. If you punish your teenage children by spanking them, their behavior is probably a result of your "unconventional" parenting skills.
If my father had actually attempted to spank me as a 16-year-old, he'd have ended up with a black eye. Grounding/taking away privileges is much more effective.

Daddy is a hypocrite. It's okay for him to hit her, but it's not okay for her to hit him?

There are very few things I can think of that would warrant spanking a 16 year old, and I don't think breaking something is one of them. The only thing that comes right to mind where I wouldn't hesitate to spank my teenage child, when and if I ever have a kid, would be drinking and driving. Then again, kids, especially teenagers, seem to know how to push their parents buttons to the point where they feel there's simply nothing else they can do to get through to them. I hope it never gets to that point in future life as a parent, but I honestly don't know with 100% certainty.

In Florida, it is perfectly legal for a father to not just spank, but strike his child (up to age 18) for corrective measures, and as long as it is not excessive.

I would like to think that at a certain age the idea of not resorting to violence would become more important to teach a kid than the idea of "imma gonna whup you".

Yeah, but they're missing the important question. Would he hit it?

3rdLostPassword: Parents who are unable to discipline their children without violence are failures and should not have had children in the first place.

Nifty. We've got a perfect one here, guys. Let's listen closely to the wisdom.

I'm not her daddy, I'll spank her.

/it'll be legal, right?

Or he could have just dropped her off in Nebraska and called it a day.
