Tools being used by the parents to punish their child.

some kids are naughty,i think the child of your neighbor belong to this type.parents allways love their child,no one want to hit them if they were obedient only when can't stand!in this situation,i suggest using safe tools which can punish him but not hurt

You could have gone up to him and spoke to him about the way how to treat a child and that is not the right way.This is highly unacceptable for sure at any circumstance.i believe the parent has to be taught some good values and booked since we are supposed to treat children friendly with care and not with threats.everyone are ought to make mistakes,we must let them with freedom

It really pains me t see parents discipline their child lie that... They are just kids and violence will only teach them to do violence on others to. Kids should bey parents out of respect and not fear.

hi, when i was a child i remember when my mother hit me was a plastic hanger, and sometimes my mother hit me a long stick,it was really hurt me because its a thick but slim type of stick.

Aw, that's harsh. When I was a kid, my father uses a bamboo stick. That's what he used to punish me and my brother. Then when we lost that bamboo stick, he later used his belt. The belt is less harsher than the bamboo stick but it still hurts.

You mean PVC pipes, oh my dear this is very unforgiveeble. You must report your neighbor to DSWD or someone in charge of child care. This kind of parent must not have granted a child. God forgive them for they have sinned against you and your son. My parents just give me a word whenever I did something wrong and I think i deserved it. But they never tried to scold or hit me.

I think what you are referring to as a tool is a PVC pipe, if you are really concerned or think the situation is getting too violent or out of hand you can take a video and report the incident to our department of social welfare, a parent may lose custody of the child this way in our country, we have child protection laws in the Philippines but i think the anti corporal punishment bill is still pending (not sure)

Tools? My parents used everything they could lay their hands on to beat us kids up (including whips, chairs, dogchains etc). I can remember that the only thing about that I did not like is that they did not just use their hand so they wouldn't feel any pain themselves.

Hi airasheila. I'm not sure what those round pipes are. What are they made of? If they are hard enough to hurt a child, then that would be so cruel of your neighbor. My parents used to punish me by spanking me with a belt. But they never used the buckle of the belt to hit me. They seldom punish me physically though, they prefer to just scold me.

This does not amuse me. I can recollect so many strange incidents of parents punishing their kids. From throwing them to the floor, hitting them with sandals, shoes, belt, etc. Many times parents throw out the anger by hitting their children. The true way is to punish the child according to the wrong he/she has done. These cruel punishments are not even done in the police station these days. Parents, remember that your child is a gift from God. You got train him/her, not abuse him/her.
