Should Parents be Allowed to Beat Their Children?

I believe that parents should not be allowed to hit their children. For one since parents are in control they feel as though that they can just beat their children and call it discipline. Another reason is that some parents just beat their kids just to beat them such as taking out anger on them, which is called child abuse. No child should be beaten to the point where there are bruises showing somewhere on them. There are other ways to discipline children, not just beating them because half the time it does not work.

Since parents are already in control they feel as though that they can just beat their children and call it discipline. Hitting kids obviously doesn’t solve anything because if a child does something wrong and they get hit for it it’s like that’s the end of story. But the question is what if they do it again? Are they just going to get hit and once the parent is tired of their child acting up they can hit their child to the point where it’s abuse. That’s why today parents get their child taken away from them or either is going to jail.

Certain times parents beat their children for no reason. For example as their parents were growing up their parents could have been beating them, so now that they have children they could have picked up that habit of the past. Now they are beating their children. This is why I don’t think parents should beat their children because of the fact that it’s hurting them and I don’t think it is right.

In conclusion, I believe parents don’t have a right to beat their kids just because they are in control. They already feel as though beating children is the right and only way to discipline kids. Also since they are in control they must think that nothing will happen to them such as getting their child taking away from them.
