Ricki Yasha TarrHow much abuse do you think people should take?
Is the number zero?
Guess what, you're people.
There are a shocking amount of people who don't know what abuse is and even more that think a little is okay apparently.
AutisticTeacherGriffWhen I teach the research that shows that spanking is abuse, no exceptions, I always get students insisting that they were spanked and they turned out fine.
No, they didn't. They turned out as people who think it's okay to hit little kids.
Maddad ☑️Abuse is abuse. People who abuse kids are criminals.
I have had issues all of my life because of the abuse that I suffered as a kid.
When I was born, my mom didn't want me and left me at the hospital. My life went downhill from there.
It wasn't my choice... I had no choice.

That is very sad. You must be a very strong person to have survived and triumphed over so much.
DontyAs my partner once said when you speak to these people who tell you it 'didnt affect them', they can tell you in precise detail what happened, when and in what circumstances all from 40-80 yrs ago.
If you can remember in such vivid, scented, flavoured emotional detail so many years later, it sounds like they most definitely were affected.
Bob Blaskiewicz 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 🇬🇱I make that same point preemptively, so nobody embarasses themselves.
Oh, sometimes embarrassment is necessary to get the point across. Along with the kids who get it shouting down the kids who argue in favor of spanking. Peer pressure makes a difference.
David 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️NB they/them@TeacherGriff @RickiTarr I don’t know how much spanking lead to trauma in my life compared to other things but at a minimum it taught me to not get caught or hide if I did. Same thing for friends I’ve talked to about this.
