My father beat the crap out of me when I did anything I knew would get me in trouble. I'm talking belt flying every which way. Legs, back, ass, head.. they were all targets. God forbid you try to cover your butt with your hands.. He did that till I was 13.. Once I hit that age, he put the belt down and would just knock me senseless with whatever he could grab. If nothing was available, he'd just use his fists.
He wasn't a child abuser by any means. Aside from my punishment, we had a great relationship and he taught me more about the world than anyone or anything else. That's just how he was raised. lol.. But.. I was always one of those "meh.. let's do it anyway" type kids.. so I'd do something.. get one of those talking to's. Do it again, and BAM. I couldn't sit down for 5 days.
Seems fair to me. Every single time I did something "wrong" I would have to think about it. "Well.. first.. will I get caught? Second.. if I DO get caught.. how bad will I get my ass beat? Third.. does fun outweigh the pain?" Most of the time.. I'd just take a beating.. Man I had some good times. And some sore times. lol And I learned how to be super sneaky! lol
But there is NO doubt in my mind, I'd be in jail right now if it wasn't for those ass whippins. Sometimes, the fun just wasn't gonna outweigh the pain. risk v/s reward and all that. lol. Kept my ass out of 0.0.
And yes, the Defax people are insane. They tried to arrest my mother, back when I was in highschool, because I skipped school. She dropped me off in front of the school, I would go eat breakfast, gather some friends, and leave. We did that ALL the time. They tried to arrest HER even though technically, I was already in the schools custody when I walked off campus. lol. I know people who have been taken from their parents because a family member (aunt, cousin, etc) was ****ed off and called. I've known people who have had their kids taken away because they smacked their ass in walmart or some place. My boss just had to go through an ordeal with them because his step daughter (who doesn't live with them) called and said they smoke pot around their kids. Which he they don't. They don't even drink. But they didn't even drug test. They just came and took the kids. They got em back and stuff.. but still.. that's something no parent should have to deal with. The sad thing is.. the kids who NEED to be in protective custody, aren't. That's the real joke about the whole thing.
