Reply #34: If I beat the crap out of my kid to prevent him from running in traffic

[CaptJasHook]

I have possibly saved his life that day.

And now he gets to walk through life with fear of his father, never open up to me about issues that may be difficult, never trust figures of authority, possibly grow up to beat his own children, etc. etc.


Or I could have just pulled him from traffic, sat down and had numerous rational discussions about the dangers of cars, then told him that I love him.
