    Nah, even as a child that’s unacceptable. My kid is only 5 and I don’t let them hit people, and punish them when they do. The response from the parent shows the apple fell straight down

    Edit: if you think this is advocating violence against children, go touch grass or read a single book on parenting ffs. Natural/logical consequences make good punishments for misbehavior, and have gone a long way to helping my kid not act out (and are nonviolent, since that has to be spelled out)

      Yeah, it’s unacceptable, but it’s also unacceptable to call a child a “garbage person” for acting like a child.

        I wouldn’t call a particular kid a garbage person to or around that kid in consideration for the effect it might have on that kid. Between you and me kids who do that are a fucked up mess who probably aren’t going to end well.

        Regardless of the labelling, punching someone in the face is absolutely not “acting like a child”, it’s acting like a garbage person. That shit should not be tolerated or excused away to complain about labelling.

        And honestly, excusing away a kid battering their teacher as “acting like a child” is pretty goddamned unacceptable too.

          My little brother threw a chair at his preschool teacher. This is absolutely shit kids do, that they need to be taught is unacceptable. You don’t teach kids to be better by writing them off as garbage humans, because they’re still learning.

          If you call your five year old garbage for acting out, you’re a shitty parent.

            How old is your little brother and how is his life going? If its going well I’m pretty sure it involved some intensive parenting or counseling.

            You can call a kid being a garbage person a garbage person. Doesn’t mean you won’t help them and correct the behavior.

        It IS normal to punish 5 year olds. You don’t have to use violence to punish them. 5 years old is enough to understand consequences.

      I never said it was acceptable. Do you call you’re children garbage when they misbehave? Does their behavior improve after you tell your child that you think they’re garbage? I don’t let my children hit anyone either, I just don’t call them garbage if they do.

        Normal people don’t break the teachers glasses and punch them in the face. This is already major behavioral problems if your kids are school age and doing this.

            As someone who was a child and therefore interacted with thousands of other children in public school I can confirm some children are garbage. Do you not remember school? Were all of those people ok?

              I remember troubled kids that didn’t know how to handle what they where dealing with at home and internally. I don’t remember any garbage kids, no. The idea that a child was just born garbage is just cruel, I hope one day you can learn to forgive and let go of that hate inside.

                I remember plenty of folks who were garbage then and lots who are garbage now.

                More than half the population just isn’t worth anything.
