I read an editorial news that the issues is about “parental discipline”. A 23 year-old woman posted a video that she captured with hidden camera seven years ago. Her father, a Texas judge, was hitting on her with powerful belt lashes for illegally downloading music. Some people who have watched this video said “That’s not discipline, it’s a beating!”
Expects also tell readers that if you are going to punish your children, never spank them while you are in the moment of anger. The anger will make you mad. The line between parental discipline and child abuse is always hard to be distinct, but in this case, the father whipped his daughter with belt, this is absolutely a mind-losing lashing. He has been forced to leave temporally from his position until this event is cleaned up.
Most of us might become parent someday, and has you ever think about what kind of parent you want to be? It will be a big difficulty for us in the future.

Thank you for sharing this news, I was unaware of it. I think it's important to keep balance between good discipline and over-the-top abuse. Children all need some sort of discipline at times, otherwise they won't be able to learn what's appropriate and what's not if they are only mildly scolded. It's becoming more difficult to define "abuse" than ever, as there are various opinions on this matter.
