Unless there is obvious physical abuse, I think all of the do gooders should keep their nose out of other people's business/child rearing.
You are sitting in the stands, while a kid tell his dad or coach to shut up, eat sh*t, go to h*ll, or whatever, so the dad/coach does the correct thing and grabs him by the hair/arm/ear to take the kid to a private place to correct the situation. All you see is someone grabbing a kid by the hair/arm/ear and automatically the adult is in the wrong. Oops, the kid didn't realize that tattling on mama would get him taken away from mama!!
I'm not advocating child abuse, but I AM advocating doing what is necessary for a kid to get the message. Too many kids have been told by the do gooders that mom or dad can't whip them, and before you know it, the kids are in protective custody because of a little swat on the backside.
Not minimizing what some kids probably go thru that should be stopped, but the majority of this "abuse" that the do gooders are getting their panties in a bunch over is overblown.
