Should Parents Be Allowed to Hit their Children?

Did you ever go out somewhere and saw a child picked a to and cried because there parents wouldn’t by it? Should parents be allowed to hit their children? I feel that parents should be allowed to hit their children, they should be able to hit their children to an extent, and there’s a difference between abuse and beating.

I feel that children should be allowed to hit their children. They should be allowed to hit their children because sometimes it teaches them right from wrong. For example, if you saw a child in the toy store and they saw this toy that they just had to have and the made a big scene in the store because they couldn’t have it then that child would deserve to get a beating because s/he is embarrassing their parents.


Parents should be able to hit their children to an extent. They should be able to hit them to an extent because the way you hit them could be considered abuse. I think that children shouldn’t be hit with any objects that are not a belt. I also think that children shouldn’t be slapped around.

I think that there’s a big difference between abuse and a beating. In the book Huckleberry Finn, his father abuses him. He abuses him by locking him up into a cabin for three days without food or water. His fathered had also torched him. This would be considered abuse. I think that a beating is when someone gets beat with a belt on his or her butt or legs. I feel that if someone is being beat with a belt anywhere else is considered to me abuse.

In conclusion I feel that children should be beat depending on what the situation is.
