Could this really happen?

If not -- Why Not??? Me and my 3 brothers and 1 sister would get this line from our mother when we acted up " Wait till your dad gets home!!

After the first time- "NEVER" heard it again. Because there never was another reason.

While cops may think it now, (and I know some who have basically told me that) I don't think it would happen in today's "triggering, safespace" world. probably 90% of the time it would be just fine. but rest assured some MOM would call after this and say the cop threatened her son and she's gonna sue. it's just another of those stupid self centered ideologies society has to deal with these days.

My dad was a school principal. He told me that if I got the strap at school, I would get the strap when I got home.

One day, my father came home and told me that he had gotten a call from my school about an incident. I admitted to it and proudly said that I didn't get the strap. He told me that I should have, marched me to my room, and gave me the strap.

I learned that there were 2 lines - his and the school's. I never stepped over either one after that.

By the way, the strap was administered to the backside where there was a direct route to the brain. LOL

The kid in this video represents the breakdown in our society . And there will be people viewing this who will be outraged by the behavior of the cop . Another sign of our societal breakdown .
In the world of today that mother would be in trouble . A lawyer would take the kids case and that cop would lose his job .
Summary ; A generation of idiots are being raised , not all , but many .
Safe zones on College campuses ?
Police under constant scrutiny ?
Perhaps it all started in the home when parents stopped being parents .
Great video . Food for thought .

They talk about privilege today. I was expected to go to school every day, I was expected to do my homework, I was expected to cut the lawn and help around the house, I was expected to go out and get a job if I needed my own spending money (my first job was shinning shoe's at a barber shop, I was 10 years old), I was expected to take responsibility for my actions and yes I got the belt when I got home if I got the paddle from the nuns at school. This is NOT privilege this is discipline and a lot more of it is needed today.

I don't believe a policeman would ever strike a child with or without a belt. But I don't doubt that the one portrayed here got his message across.

I never used a belt on either of my kids - open hand on the butt a few times. They learned very quickly that Dad only says "no" once - after that the hand is coming. I'm proud to say that firm discipline made them honest, well adjusted and responsible adults.

I think that Dr. Spock is partly responsible for the breakdown in discipline today. However, there is certainly some value in his book - a judicious application to the buttocks of a misbehaving child should have a positive affect.

Is this series available anywhere and does it have a different name?

I felt the belt only once during 12 years at home, and it remains a memory after 75 years!

If only parents could get away with it now. I have physical scars from my "mother" disciplining me. Some go too far, others not far enough.
