how much should we punish our children?

maybe they dont have any other ways of punishment.that's

Sutan, This is sad sad story,.. I have lost my son, my baby, He was premature, so i really understand how it's feel and hurt. (i felt it now and i don't think it's gonna go away for the rest of my life) Punishing kids with sapu-lidi or make them suffered in ill and painful it is not wise. Punishing kid should consider about what it will make this kid mind change by his/her own will. Punishment should .. Rebuild. Kids are supposed to be naughty, i think. It is their expression to embrace to learn and proved they are might do something superb, I am ALIVE!! Children are like that isn't it? Being a parents it's a full time job either, You will never rest from worries, controlling, do what is necessary..sometimes, here and there parents makes mistake. Mine too. So i became weird like this LOL But Their (children) nutrition also make some influence of their Hyperactive energy, may.. to many sugar will caused them hyperactive too. Some parents or people might don't know the affect of their choosing food will caused different with kids. may be they choose to refused some kind of food they actually need because they didn't like it.. I am not a judge, without being judge they already suffered of lost. this is a sad story of life.

Oh my my my.. that is just sad news.. My children too has their moments, they can be real naughty at times and I do punish them, sometimes I even give them a little spank but never so that they need to be put in the hospital, just enough to give them a scare(if that's the right word) but it is an altogether different matter if they need to be seen by the doctor, like what happened in your story, the child needs medical attention and I don't think that even the naughtiest boy deserved not to be given medical attention just because he was naughty... that is so sad... I definitely think that the parents were wrong in not bringing their child to the hospital, it is their duty as parents to take care of their child there are many ways to punish a child and not bringing him to seek medical attention when a tree fell on him is definitely too much of a punishment for them to give a little child.

Absolutely wrong! Thats no way to teach a child how to behave, and now look what has happened! i feel so sorry for parents who think punishing with the effect of life in view. It is so very dangerous. I donno wat they think of this situation now!

oh dear this is really a very sad piece of news. i believe no one should ever be punished in this way. no matter how bad the behaviour is, denying medical attention is not an option. no parents should ever do that to a child. in fact, no one should ever do that to anyone. ever convicted criminals get medical attention. two days is too long a time to wait considering the boy had a tree fall on him. this is indeed very sad. :(

is that a real story? delaying the treatment is not good at all. i mean, being hurt is already give enough lesson to that boy.. we cannot predict what will happended from an acident. so i think the parent is overdo the lesson. now they feel the result. that's so sad..
