Query: Child Abuse Doesn't Produce Happy Families

The boosters and promoters of the Pearls' methods of child abuse claim that beating children will produce happy families and that everything will be wonderful.It won't.I was raised by the methods that Pearl describes -- children should be seen and not heard; spare the rod and spoil the child; and just hit the children whenever they do something that displeases you. Don't give clear instructions before-hand; let them stumble into error and then hit them. They'll figure it out eventually.I haven't talked to my father in 29 years, or my mother in 20.I think my father is dead, but don't know. When I find out where he is buried, I will go and dance on his grave. I mean really. You know the song from the Wizard of Oz -- "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead"?I'll sing that and dance on his grave.If you want that kind of a relationship with your children, then follow the Pearls' instructions. You too can have a very lonely old age.
