I was waiting for her to snap and grab that belt, then proceed to assault her parents. Guess not. It's not like if I was in that situation that I would grab the belt and begin to resist by fighting back or anything.
I AM NOT AN AGGRESSIVE PERSON! LEAVE ME ALONE! *shifty eyes*
Still, spanking a teenager is a grey area. She's 16! Take away her computer or something! "Beating into submission" is taking the paddle and belt way to far! There is a fine line between discipline and assault. This video shows assault. The girl's father in the video is not punishing the victim, but assaulting her. There are clear signs of aggression from the father. Parental punishment should not be carried out in anger, but instead in a calm, yet stern manner.
Bad Example of punishment: "You little S***! I'm gonna beat the F***ing S*** out of you!"
Good Example of punishment: "I told you to stop what you are doing. Now you must be held accountable for your actions. You have lost your privilege to use your cellphone, video game systems, go hang out with your friends, and the privilege to use your computer for anything else besides schoolwork. When you need to use your computer, you will be monitored by me to ensure that you are not disobeying me further. When you are done with your schoolwork, I will then save your work, and proceed to shut down your computer and then remove the power cords so that you can't use it unsupervised. This punishment will last a month. You may think that this is cruel, however, if you were caught by the copyright holders, you could face years in prison and a hefty fine, as well for being marked as a cyber thief for the rest of your life!"
