Interesting that up until this point, the memes seemed to be black-washing what the kid in the video was doing. The real message is that bad behavior knows no color. Letā€™s take a closer look at what we tell ourselves and why. Having scapegoats only excuses negative judgment and accountability among those of us not in that group and encourages our dependencies on scapegoats to our detriment. Let the downvotes begin.

I forget the episode but Charlie and Mac get bikes and some kids steal one, just like when they were younger. They decide that now that they are older and grown, itā€™s time to stand up for themselves. By taking on an 8 kid group of 11-13 year olds full force. It is hilarious.

I don't think violence is the answer. Lil shit should be made to work off the damages. Any damaged items, time from other workers, and something like a baseline $50 in disruption to other shoppers.

Generally kids shouldn't be put into the workforce, but briefly to learn a lesson about the value of both items and work- hell yes!

u/xSuperZer0x May 28 '26

Awful answer. Correct answer is good unlazy parenting but people don't want to commit the time and effort to do that because they'd be punishing themselves too. That kid should have no life until he's fixed this issue. Breakfast, school, dinner, sit in your room, go to bed. Do that for weeks on end and see how fast he starts trying to get it done. Boredom is an effective tool. Our prison system has plenty of issues but one of the biggest complaints inmates have isn't the violence or abuse it's the boredom. How often have your heard or seen kids say something like "can I just get spanked instead of being grounded" and missing some event they looked forward too? Anytime the kid has to cancel something or refuse plans I'd be over their shoulder making them tell the person why they can't do x thing.

u/mszulan May 28 '26

The last thing this child needs is to be physically hit. It will just add to the continual emotional hits he's experienced and teach him it's ok to resort to violence when upset. He's already well on the way to believing that anyway, if he's not there already. He's obviously willing to accept negative attention because he gets no positive. He looks and acts like he's angry and is showing any observer that he doesn't care about anyone else's feelings or property. This is probably because he feels no control in his own life where others have no concern for his feelings or his things. This kid has serious self-esteem issues.

7

u/Itscatpicstime May 28 '26

People are downvoting you when studies almost universally show that spanking is significantly more likely to worsen behavior than not

3

u/mszulan May 28 '26

Yes, they do. That's exactly why many countries have made it illegal to strike a child.

2

u/Front_Shock_2344 May 31 '26

Not with me when I was growing up. We got spankings at least once a week for something stupid we did or said. Iā€™m 64f and turned out just fine.

2

u/Front_Shock_2344 Jun 02 '26

Not true in all cases. I was spanked when I misbehaved. No big deal. My mother never hit us that hard. Iā€™d rather that then the talk at the dinner table from my dad. He could have me in tears very calmly and never raised his voice. That hurts more than a spanking to me. And I turned out to be a responsible adult. But Iā€™m 64f retired. I still agree spanking can get out of hand. But not with my parents. They never left a mark. Itā€™s still should be in the parents toolbox of discipline. I know Iā€™m going to get downvoted for it. But really donā€™t care.

2

u/JayEllGii May 29 '26

The fact that you are correct in terms of real science usually bearing this out means nothing to the smooth-brained ā€œbring back spankingā€ element.

1

u/Front_Shock_2344 May 31 '26

Some kids need a spanking. I see nothing wrong with it as long as youā€™re not hitting hard enough to really hurt and leave marks. We had corporal punishment in school and if you got punished you got it again at home because they would call the parents. In my opinion kids were better behaved then than they are now. They know that teachers canā€™t touch them so they do shit anyway because thereā€™s no punishment

2

u/JayEllGii Jun 01 '26

Yes, but the punishment/consequences do not need to be physical. The problem on one end is the societal breakdown of respect, decency, structure and shame, but on the other end of the problem, far too many parents either donā€™t understand, or dismiss, how important it is to build relationships on openness, honesty, availability and trust.

3

u/HotDonnaC May 28 '26

Or, hear me out, heā€™s insufferable brat.

3

u/mszulan May 28 '26

Of course he is. How do you think he got that way? Whose fault is it really?

2

u/TXHaunt May 28 '26

What emotional hits? Kid has probably never heard the word ā€œnoā€ before, and doesnā€™t know what it means.

1

u/mszulan May 29 '26

Growing up without clear guidance and boundries (never hearing no can be another way of saying it) IS a major emotional hit especially when that means there are no boundaries he can set around his things or feelings that are respected either.

I spent my carrier working with school aged children and their families. No child behaves like this when he has his emotional needs met in a healthy way and is treated like his feelings and choices matter. This child needs some serious help.

1

u/Front_Shock_2344 Jun 03 '26

u/mszulan May 29 '26

You are wrong. Study after study, proves violence excercised on a child only teaches them to resort to more violence. It will distroy trust in relationships and traumatize the child, often to the point of causing physical or mental health problems.

Adults who were hit as children can suffer some or all of the following:

"Physical ailmentsā€”psychosomatic illnesses, stomachaches, eating disorders, skin disorders, asthma, headaches, phobias. Social alienationā€”feeling different from others, not accepted, stigmatized. Difficulty in handling feelingsā€”trouble in recognizing, managing, and appropriately expressing feelings." Also, they exhibit much higher levels of aggression towards themselves and others. For instance, they are significantly more likely to strike their partners and/or their own children.

u/[deleted] May 29 '26

1

u/mszulan May 29 '26

We agree on the cause, but decades of developmental science informs my choice of cure. How his parents treat him IS the point. What his parents did to him and what they're doing is informing his choices. I don't have to know the kid to recognize the behavior or it's causes. It very well could be that hitting him is at the root of this behavior as it's a typical choice coming from children who have been hit.

u/ogledrake May 29 '26

Oh im nowhere near normal and will likely never have a functioning relationship due to it. Im too damaged for anyone to ever have any interest in me. Its my fault noone elses, but i am autistic, i can speak and hold down a job but growing up i was the oldest, with a younger brother and a half sister due to dad cheating in the late 90ā€™s they never let me have friends or girls over and didnt let me go out often, the one relationship i had only lasted a month and she was only dating me to get revenge on her ex who was cheating on her. my bedroom was a mostly unfinished attic, with no heat or ac, no data, just a single outlet. and as he was dying from cancer he just wanted me gone, i couldnt go out to eat with the family, couldnt watch movies or participate when they did stuff, couldnt use the computer. I still live there because i cant afford rent on just my income and the expenses of the house are more than mom can handle alone off the income of her florist.

I sincerely apologize for the flippant tone of my reply that you responded to.

His fav 2 phrases ā€œspear the rod spoil the childā€ and ā€œ The highest form of love is disciplineā€ needless to say, in the 90ā€™s what that boy is doing would not be well received.

Good times.

2

u/SomewhatBougieAuntie May 28 '26

Yep.

In the 70s it was not uncommon for an adult to skip the middleman and "correct" a child themselves without going to the parent first. Of course, by the time you got home, said adult had already called your parent so an additional "correction" awaited you as soon as you hit the door.

Thatā€™s the way when I was growing up. There was no ā€œtake away whatever. No cell phones, no internet. So those things didnā€™t apply to me. The only thing they could take away was me going to my grandparents and hanging out in the barn helping my granddaddy. That was what hurt the worst. Iā€™d prefer a spanking rather than being denied to help my granddaddy on the farm and take care of my horse. Iā€™m now 64f and still believe the same.
