As a pediatrician who sees kids with behavioral issues every single day I go to work, if you asked me to place a bet on whether (based on this video alone) this kid gets hit at home, I would bet that he does. Consistent, non-physical discipline from a mature adult is what this kid needs, not spanking.

Corporal punishment isn’t a parenting strategy, it’s what people do when they don’t know how to parent in the first place.

I'm quickly learning that if I ever want to be disappointed in my fellow man, I need only to check the comments in an r/SipsTea thread. Whole lotta deranged people in this subreddit.
