In a video posted on Facebook this past Sunday, a St. Louis woman is seen yelling at children and instigating violence, saying things like, “Got some action! Got some action! Y’all better ball up some fists!” A source who knows the woman who posted the video told St. Louis TV station KTVI that the mother needed to be stopped. Do you think social services should get involved?

Child welfare officials may soon investigate a St. Louis woman because of a video where she instigates a fistfight between two diaper-clad kids.

If that is how she teaches her children to resolve problems she would absolutely benefit from some child protective services intervention and parenting classes.

Physical discipline may be a bop on the bum, or a slap on the wrist, something so tame it lasts a second on their skin but teaches them instantly that what they did is a BAD thing. Part of our human instinct is to recognize pain = bad. If it hurts, no matter how young you are or what creature you are, you don't go jumping in immediately to do it again do you?
Anyone with a brain knows many children begin to make mistakes far earlier then they are capable of recognizing you have taken something off them in an attempt to be disciplinary. Mostly they just think you are being mean and do not relate it to an action they have just undertaken. In reality by the time they start recognizing it as discipline they have usually already developed much of their personality, which makes this process far harder, far longer and yield far less results.
Yet all of this would not be a problem if it wasn't for complete and utter morons like this woman. Her actions, and the actions of every other ignorant parent that doesn't understand the difference between discipline and ABUSE has just made parenting that much harder for the rest of us (MILLIONS of us) and preven...

As a sidenote; its also morons who don't recognize safe physical discipline is vital to raising a child who make life hard for the rest of us too.
