Kid's today have all the leverage over their parents. For example: I was a child in the 70's and my dad belted my ass, whipped me with tree limbs, etc. when I was misbehaving.
Today if a parent applies any physical discipline on a misbehaving child, the child or a nosey neighbor reports it to the Police, the parent gets booked for battery on a child/minor, and CPS shows up at the door to "rescue" the "abused" child.
It's not fair!!
