This is kind of a delayed-reaction post, but one that just now hit me. That last sentence will become a pun as you read on.
So it was either last week or the week before that my family and I drove to the Golden Corral just after vacation for some eats. We took a table next to a family of 4. Nothing too abnormal about that. One was a father, one looked like the grandfather, and the other 2 were little boys. That's fine. Nothing that out-of-the-ordinary. It was just after the next 2 hours that I realized that the father was very strict, almost abusive, to his children. As they sat down next to us, one of the little boys didn't want the drink he got, so he wanted something else. The father backhanded him and gave him a quiet, but stern talk.
Now for those that don't know, Golden Corral is a buffet, meaning that you get free drinks and refills. What is the problem then, if it is no detriment to you if your son wants something else?
Hour 2, I had about all I could eat, so I played the watcher and sipped my delicious tea and watched the family closely. The same child couldn't eat anymore, but the father gave another stern talk and made him eat it all. The child replied, "lease don't make me eat it all; I can't!". The father then, "You will eat your money's worth now start munching!" Child said no, so the father took him to the bathroom. For spanking? Or something else? Jeez, if the kid cannot eat anymore, then don't force it on the poor lad. Overeating is even harmful.
Point is kiddies, how much can and should a parent be in regards to his/her children? How much is too much before it becomes child abuse? If I were him, I wouldn't have been so abusive to my child for a free drink and a partly-finished meal. Of course I'm a teen so what do I know, right? Should there be stricter/lighter regulations on how a parent acts and behaves, if we are able to?
The one thing that pisses me off in this world: Power abuse.

In some occasaions, its hard to say. Punishment such as a timeout or spankings (Which i think is considered abuse now a days...?) is either gonna teach a child that their are consequences if it repeats the same action, or its either going to give the child time to grow hate torwards the authority.
I hate seeing stuff like this and i never hesitate to say something cause i know what its like being bitched out by Teachers for the lamest things

Timeout or spankings are fine in my book. These such things are necessary for the young ones. Too much leniency will make the child feel it can do whatever he/she wants without any intervention. Too heavy of a "unishment" will make the child confused. Is what they are doing the right thing or the wrong thing? They will be too afraid to take action in the near future. A punishment such as a backhand can be harmful, both physically and emotionally. I mean, this guy just drew his arm back and let go--that severe.
Well obviously this guy was outa hand, but their are good parents out their. Alot of them. But i guess the govrnment shouldnt do anything just because their are a few bad ones out there.
I don't think that the dad should have backhanded his son for a free drink I mean what's the problem there. That's just a little too agressive. But lik you said what do I know I as well am a teen and not as old as you even. All I know is from observing the effetcts of certain techniques.
My cousin has a three year old son and she doesn't like spanking, at all. I disagree with her on this subject I think that it should be used but in moderation of course, no backhanding in Golden Corral of course.
Her son is probably one of the wildest kids I've met, but to tell the truth I haven't met many crazy kids. She does give some discipline, she gives him timeouts and stuff but sometimes it isn't enough. She needs to.. Well who am I to say what she needs to do. Nobody important of course.
But like I said before, I think that spanking your child/ren is essential when raising them. But that's my opinion.
I believe Gen1 raised Gen2 that way, so Gen1 didn't do a thing about it, as Gen1 thought that was acceptable.

I realize that making a regulation against this sort of behavior is...silly, but we need at least SOMETHING. Like a hotline for children that believe they are being abused, making their calls anonymous and all that good stuff.

Theirs plenty. My only suggestion would be informing children of this in schools?

This would be perfect, but then of course don't you think that the schools would have to have permission to send out papers and talk to children about getting abused. I'm not sure I'm just asking.

That's exactly what I'm saying. If they had to have permisson, the abusive parent could just omit the kids from the classes or whatever. Then we are just wasting time.

Me to suspended for forgetting a book which is in my locker and she had extras in her classroom
freakenstien first off what did your parents do?If my parents saw that the wouldn't have sat there and enjoyed their meal as ifit was the best day ever
That's all nice and all, but we are talking about Parental Power, not Instructor Power. They get less than what they deserve nowadays. You are probably exaggerating your claims just like how every other kid does anyways.

The purpose of a hotline is to help those that are in need and are very desperate for help. There are just some things that cannot be known to some people, which is the reason for anonymity, abuse among other things.
