New Study Says Spanking A Child May Lead To To MENTAL ILLNESS…I Guess We Are All MAD Then!

blank
Who the HECK provides funds for these studies when we need money to get electricity and clean drinking water to our communities in Africa?
How can this even be true? Do they know the number of times my mother had to kick the hell out my ass? They are worried about spanking, in fact, some African children are being beaten right, left and center (At home, at school and even at church)…
Maybe the study is true…That explains why all of us are mad Africans right? Another insult to our long standing culture!
Train your child the Ghanaian way by spanking him or her and he/she will grow up to be a respectable adult and not a crack head…

A new study published in Monday’s Journal of the American Academy Of Pediatrics found that children who are spanked are at a higher risk for developing mental problems.
The study surveyed 35,000 people, and found that 2 to 7 percent of mental disorders are linked to physical punishment.
The author says the study is evidence physical punishment shouldn’t ever be used on any child. The debate is still ongoing, however, because some people still maintain spanking can be effective if done correctly.

  1. Spanking is a means of inflicting physical pain on a child because he or she did something you don’t like Whether you are angry or not you are physically abusing your child. They might change their behavior but it’s because they are afraid of you not because spanking is an effective way to discipline a child 
     I was spanked as a child (cause you dont mess with an african mum before you open your mouth you already received a dirty slap) and I am glad I was I knew not to backtalk my parents as so many children do today that are not spanked and get away with so But I still turned out to be normal I think the person is mental himself and has been abused from time to time

  2. The author is misinterpretating the research. 2-7 percent of mental disorders being linked to spanking is not a significant enough conclusion to make people stop spanking. And anyways, as i remember from the itty bitty little knowledge i gained from my statistics class, correlation does not equal causation.

  3. Many Africans go way over board with spanking their child! I remember back in GH in my town, the kids who at the end turn out bad and were stamp as the black sheep, were the ones who received hard beatings by parents. Now and then you’ll meet adult African with marks / scars on their body from beatings by parents during childhood.
    Many Africans have emotional problems, who knows if it is due to this also!!!!

  4. Caning especially in Ghanaian Schools is awful, do you have a clue how many lashes I have received just because I refused to give inn to a teacher’s advances? Have you ever been caned such that your whole ass gets swollen and you can not even sit not for any reason but just because you came to school 1min passed 7:00? how many schools expect primary school kids to risk their lives to get to school at that time of the morning when it’s still dark? rich countries where majority of parents own cars don’t even demand such. in Ghana most kids treck to school yet some outrageous person can ask them to report at 7am and when you 1min late you get an awful lot of lashes! Do you know how many Ghanaian kids that lose their concentration in maths classes cuz they are still busy trying to console themselves after the teacher took a Cain and never gave them the chance to think an answer through and just caned them for the fun of it do you? some teachers even cane you right in the middle of your back do you know what damages that can cause from persons to persons? Please do not put your silly sentiments when tackling issues that the public find bitter! do your research properly and do not use your personal ideas this is not a creative writing topic. Just because your mom spanked you and you believe it worked for you doesn’t interpret that everybody is an animal and deserves to be communicated to in an animal language(which is of course is caning). Ghanaians need to stand up against this shit cuz most teachers are suppressing kids and sexually harassing them just because they do not want to be lashed by that teacher. Do you know how many teachers lash their students out of their personal frustrations and issues they have at home?? Pls pls pls this is not a matter to joke with, Ghanaian parents need to stand up and fight this animosity!!!

  5. @Zowee, spare the rod and spoil the child.Back in the day children got spanked if u went out of line and majority of us turned out super.Do u now see how kids of today behave?They talk anyhow and anywhere with no damn manners and no respect is that what u want?Let the westerners keep theirs and we will keep ours maybe that is why most of them become rapists,serial killers,mudrerers, and psycopaths all the time.A stitch in time saves nine.

  6. well if your child gets on your nerves,find something that he or she really likes to do and stop him or her from doing it as in a form of punishment like ask them to go to bed when its actually playing time expecially with a good weather like this,that is enough punishment for them spanking is absolutely out of the question.
