We havent grown past the notion that children are individual beings, we still look at them as being property that belongs to us, we still look at them as something that we own, we must protect and we must teach and as you will find, people will become very resistant to an "outsider" telling them how they should or should not parent.

Most of this so-called outrage is fake, phony and comprised of people trying to "one up" each other. The reality is corporal punishment, abuse, whoever you want to call it is practiced in homes around the world and until we do away with this notion that children are property, it will continue to happen.
