Is It Really Necessary?....

By Kerwin De Matas

We see on the news every day, the statistics of kids abused physically and/or psychologically. The statistics were so high, that I had to ask myself if the info were true or no. I mean, physically abused kids 30%, psychologically abused kids 22% etc, etc. Are we crazy! Are kids just good enough to have, and when we are in a shitty mood, to open a can of whoop-ass?!.... We have got to be crazy people. Growing up in Trinidad, what I thought was normal when a parent would really have a go at their kid, for some sort of misbehaviour, I realize now that there is no excuse to go around making a child's life a living hell on earth, no matter what!

Would This Help A Child?

If parents were to be educated on how to train their kids properly in the first place, and practicing family values etc, there would be no reason whatever to beat the living daylights out of their kids. Now think about it. Kids are to be loved, they are to be taught to be responsible human beings, parents need to be patient when educating their kids, it really is a full time job with a kid around. But remember, in most cases, parents weren't tied up and forced to have kids, it was a decision taken by two consenting adults, when they decided to get together in a responsible or in an irresponsible union. So then why all this nonsense, why do innocent kids have to pay for a day gone bad, or an economic situation gone bad, or the separation of parents?....

What Could She Have Done?...

Is it really necessary to punish kids in this manner? Hell, I am sure kids can learn to do the right thing, if they were living in a household full of love, attention, positive activities, etc.. It's incredible when the experts go on and on about the majority of abused kids coming from low income families. Of course everyone knows this is absurd, isn't it? It doesn't matter what household a kid comes from, so long as there are parents, they need to set the example now, because when we lack in our duties as parents, we are only laying the field for worst to come. Believe my words, we need to get into the parent mode, from the time we find out that we are going to be parents! Great, so every time we feel like we are at the end of our patience with the brat, um kid, we can just ask ourselves before we open that can of whoop-ass, " is it really necessary?".....
