We should discuss socioeconomic status as a mitigating factor in the us

I've no problem addressing that issue. The answers are probably far out
of reach for most in this group though. Alan Greenspan does not post
here.

The more immediate and more accessible issues would have the most
immediate impact <pun intended> on the spanking issue.

I'm not here, though I can't speak for others, say Doan, to idly
distract and misdirect folks.

To me this is a practical matter of mitigating children's daily pain
and fear.

I'd be, when we are through discussing "socioeconomic status," going
back to the more proximate issues.

How to change attitude and long held beliefs seems more important to
me. While that's no easy job, it seems more accessible than how to
change socioeconomic status and hope that that has an effect on
spanking.

I don't think there's an appreciable drop in spanking rates until you
reach very high levels of income.

Now if you wanted to deal with abusive discipline, that could be
factored in with CPS data from the USDHS and you could find
socioeconomic influences.

I think it's time we welcomed discussion on what a law should look like
that bans spanking.

While I disagree with you that a 25 year old study is outdated (we use
the ancient research of others in current science and industry
commonly...take a class in electrical engineering for instance) I do
agree that there is "current" things to look at.

And what could be more current than a new law, either a state law for
each state, or though less my preference, a single federal law.

What  should be in such a spanking or CP ban law?

But feel free to explore "socioeconomic status as a mitigating factor
in the use
of CP.  And how to address that issue."

If I'm interested I'll be happy to contribute in whatever way I can.

Why for instance in America are parenting classes only available t
parents after the fact.  After they have been investigated for chil
abuse, after their children have been placed in foster care when th
parents are either desperate to get their kids, or so angry that the
refuse to attend parenting workshops.   I know in my state parentin
classes are available but certainly not encouraged for at risk parent
(young parents,families on assistance, single parents, parents who gre
up in abusive households)

I think before we can even consider a non-spanking law we need t
address the issues of these at risk parents, get them into parentin
classes, give them mentors, teach them appropriate disciplin
strategies.  Give them a support network so when they feel overwhelme
with the responsibilities of parenthood they can get help BEFORE ther
is a problem

There is no such limit. Anyone wishing to take a parenting class can
find them easily. Health departments, parks and recreation, mental
health departments, some schools, private instructors are all available.

In fact, you can even find on-line classes.

How would you get them to go to parenting classes until they were
compelled to?

The classes are everywhere. They are even free in some places.

How are they not encouraged? You mean actively discouraged, or not
publicized enough?

Two problems, I think.

One is that you cannot compel them to attend unless they have CPS
intervention going on. It would be civil rights violation. I've argued
with state legislators over this when one governor or another proposed
"early intervention" with new mothers in geographical areas considered
high risk, or with behaviors considered high risk. They understood
rather easily when I pointed out the BOR to them from the Constitution.

One cannot compel another's actions without due cause. And that has to
be addressed with some action. The only legal action would be child
protection statutes.

Thus we come around again to the law.

Two, money.

Who will provide this support network?

Churches, local interest groups, even the local health department
schedules a variety of things to get young parents involved, especially
new mothers, even providing child care during the meetings.

The problem is that the families that are targetted for this help can
refuse to respond, or simply not be interested, and that is certainly
their right. I do not support compelled services unless the level of
problem has reached a proportion that has involved child protection
services by the state.

And while at one time such programs could access hospital records for
new births, and visit the new mothers directly, they are now proscribed
from doing so by HIPAA. Any PR or marketing of the programs have to be
addressed into to already crowded media advertising world.

This is precisely why I support a law addressing the actual behavior.

There is nothing; poverty, large families, single parenting that MAKES a
parent spank a child.

A law will address the issue directly. It will mean nothing to those
that already do these things for their children. They won't be effected.
They already actively seek alternatives to CP. Collect and study
information about child development. Provide themselves with strees
reducing activities and strategies for when parenting overwhelms them.

In the law, I'll insist on having these issues addressed.

There must be public funding support for programs mandated to help those
charged and convicted of spanking. If not, there's little point in the
law, though these things in the past have tended to sort themselves out.

I imagine when women's sufferage was finally a fact there was some
support for teaching women the political processes they were about to
engage in.

There was supposed to be help for freed slaves, but that didn't go as well.

The law banning spanking would work for all concerned. The parent
convicted of spanking could then DEMAND state support for them to
rehabilitate. At least some reimbursement, some child care, some
training monies.

I'd be happy with that.

These problems you have mentioned are ones that have been addressed
before at great length by society. They have done pretty much all they
can do, sans constitutional violations, at this point. Now it's time to
move forward with a law.

PS, Embry and Malfetti found that there was a change from baseline
counted street entries from 9.7 per hour by children, to, after the
program, 0.7 entries per hour.

What was also remarkable was that the rate of "safe play" praise by
parents also shot up after they had been trained. In fact, 33 times more
such incidents after the program than before at measuring for the baseline.

Even children having a very low baseline street entry rate, dropped
considerably after the training was in place. 1.8 entries per hour, as
opposed to 0.2 per hour with the program in place. Only 10% of the
baseline rate.

Pretty remarkable when one considers that parents who spanked before had
children that attemped entries at the highest rate of all per hour.  K~

In my area no one talks about parenting classes until it's too late.
They are not encouraged, they are only available at certain times tha
make it inconveniant for working parents, no child care is available.
Most low income families that I know do not have a computer, nor d
they know how to use the internet, nor do they have time to go to th
library to take a class on how to use the internet.  So how are they t
gain access to parenting classes?

How would you force people to obey a no-spanking law without firs
setting up a support network, and educational resources?

The classes are not everywhere.

I was once considered an at risk parent.  I was 19 with a newborn, an
a history of family abuse.  You know what my local hospital did upo
discharge from the maternity unit.  Sent a nurse to my home once a wee
for the first 6months of my child's life.  She came to check up on m
child, and my physical and emotional recovery.  She provided me wit
information.  She caught my post partum depression. She helped insur
that mother child bond grew properly.  If at 6months she felt that w
needed more help she would have continued with her visits, and provide
me with more information.

Sometimes you have to go through the back door to get to the fron
door.

if you are talking passing of a Federal Law then it should be Federa
Money that pays for the classes, locations, and child care.

Local government would be responsible for the support network.  In m
area most support groups for new parents, or parents with problems ar
either offered at the Intermediate school district, or at th
Hospital.

yes that is certainly their right, but even having the help publicize
to a level that will continually remind them that it is available woul
be a step in the right direction.  As it stands now, you only hear o
parenting classes if you are ordered to take them or you are lookin
for them.

Yet you support a law to prohibit spanking, without first havin
programs in place to teach parents new techniques.

If we were a bunch of cannabals who didn't know how to butcher a cow
would you be in support of a law that prohibits people eating withou
first teaching people how to butcher a cow?  (weird analogy, but I
think it works)

As of september 2004 my local hospital was still sending nurses to new
mother's homes.

I disagree.  perhaps the situation doesn't "make" them spank...but it
certainly makes it easier to spank.

kane Wrote:

How??  Do the laws against murder address the issues that cause a
person to murder?  No they just provide incentive not to, and
punishment when you do.

Speaking of punishment...what type of punishment do you have in mind
for this law?

Many single parent households, poor households, etc.  Don't have the
luxuery of a parental "time out"  They have to work, they have to
parent, they have to clean the house, they don't have the help needed
to take a break.

Sorry about your area. Have you researched more?

I have no idea. How do they find time to watch TV? Bowl? Tavern hang?

Check again with your county health department for available child
rearing classes.

By the way, I know many low income families and very few lack a
computer. They are just so cheap these days. Used are going for $50 to
a hundred bucks, with software installed, lots of it, including a
browser. And kids are taught computer use in public schools.

I'm still puzzled though that you think the community has some
responsibility above and beyond the parents themselves to aquire better
parenting skills, so they won't feel the need to spank.

Remember, we are talking about making it a law not to spank. That is a
motivator. Just like traffic laws that require being able to pass a
driving test. Or a food handler's permit. Or practicing law. It's the
person's responsibility...not one elses.

No matter how available parenting information might be you cannot force
people to access it unless you have a law that makes it illegal to
spank.

Non consentual spanking is assault if performed on an adult. How can it
logically not be just because it's performed on a child.

You post to another with an ad hom at me and warn her to watch for me
using ad hom. Interesting, isn't it.

Her question asking if I was dodging based on my non answers to her

accusation. Reading over my posts in this thread and my reponses there
is no such thing going on on my part. It's you that dodge Doan, constantly.

.........................................................

All the responses I made to your question posed to me from you first
post...the one suggesting an exploration of socio economic issues
follow. I'll confine myself to cut and paste from my own posts, leaving
yours out, but respond to precisely what you now claim I did not.

And referring to your current claim of "The one that addressed HOW you
would propose stopping the offending behavior without first TEACHING
people how to stop. The One that asked what Punishment you propose for
violating your proposed law. "

You postulated that classes were available only after the fact and not
available. I responded with:

"Anyone wishing to take a parenting class can
find them easily. Health departments, parks and recreation, mental
health departments, some schools, private instructors are all
available.

In fact, you can even find on-line classes.

http://tinyurl.com/dastb "

How is that NOT answering your question about teaching?

In fact, I answered WHY we cannot get them educated before the fact
BECAUSE IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO COMPELL THEM UNLESS WE BRING SOME
CHARGE AGAINST THEM. And I pointed out that is what family court and
CPS is FOR.

"One is that you cannot compel them to attend unless they have CPS
intervention going on. It would be civil rights violation. I've argued
with state legislators over this when one governor or another proposed
"early intervention" with new mothers in geographical areas considered
high risk, or with behaviors considered high risk. They understood

be addressed with some action. The only legal action would be child
protection statutes. "

I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION, did I not?

I know of know legal policy that can get people educated before the
fact.

I do know though that efforts have been made by encorporating such
education into the highschool classroom in some areas. I did not
mention that before, because it IS NOT A MANDATORY class subject. And
it can't be made to be.

Unless you wish to try and convince parents it's more important than
math.

In fact I went on at great length to answer your question in

Then in your message #5 that followed you asked me how one could force
them to obey a law they had been provided services to allow them to:

"How would you force people to obey a no-spanking law without first
setting up a support network, and educational resources?

The classes are not everywhere. "

I respond in message #5 as follows:

"Check again with your county health department for available child

"I'm still puzzled though that you think the community has some

I even pointed out how to access free computer access, and cheap
computers.

And you followed all my attempts to answer the questions you actually
asked with this insult:

"

I noticed that you only responded to those items that you could ask

Then in your message, #5 in the thread, you asked:

"Speaking of punishment...what type of punishment do you have in mind
for this law? "

Which I had ALREADY COVERED IN DEPTH in my prior post, #4 in the
series.

Read it again and tell me that I did not answer your question.

It may not be to YOUR satisfaction, but I sure as hell did NOT ignore
your question.

I included only ONE penalty...(and I don't consider it a "punishment"
that they be required to "rehabilitate."

So obviously I did not advocate a punishment. If that is what you
consider not answering your question,  think you should read my message
again, or are you playing "Doan" on me now?

Pick a single word and hairsplit down to the point YOU can make a claim
about MY intent or failure that is NOT actually in evidence?

Did you miss where I DID in fact answer that question in the only way
it can be answered, by referrence to current child abuse statutes (and
one would presume their penalties listed) in the states?

"The only legal action would be child
protection statutes."

I did not LIST the penalties because I would have to review all states
to do so.

My own newsreaders and google manage to do the same. I'm not sure what
you are referring to, SINCE YOU DON'T INCLUDED my "actually neatly
Quoted " comments in this post where you are simply referring to them.

In fact the ONLY instance of my comments in this post ARE MY OWN CUT
AND PASTE from prior posts.

You did it again. You accused me of something but left all referrences
to it ABSENT from view.

Kane,

You're right I did edit some of what you wrote.  I took out items tha
were irrelevant to what I wished to ask you or comment on.  For exampl
the URL you provided for online parenting classes.  It was unnecessar
for me to quote the URL, it would have been redundant as I had no
comment on the URL in question.

When I removed my comments that triggered you
comments/questions/rebuttal leaving your comments "lonely and dangling
I did so that those reading along didn't have to sift through 300line
of dialogue to catch up to what we are talking about, and I presume
that you would know/remember what our conversation was about.  Perhap
I presumed wrongly.

As for you quoting the Embry study again...you cannot accuse me o
dodging because I had already stated I would not be baited into a lon
drawn out discussion on a teeny tiny report from 25yrs ago.

To answer your question regarding who is responsible for the lack o
available parenting classes in my area.  The State and Federa
government.  There is no funding.

My comment "see above" in response to your question "How are they no
encouraged? You mean actively discouraged, or not
publicized enough?"  was to save myself time typing out the answe
because i had just answered it above.  You have a knack for asking th
same questions several ways trying to get different answers so you ca
trip people up with their words.

I split up one very long paragraph of yours so I could comment o
individual portions in the hopes that it would be less confusing.  Bu
I see you were confused by it.  Perhaps you should carefully read nex
time.

You keep saying that you responded to

"The one that addressed HOW you would propose stopping the offending
behavior without first TEACHING people how to stop.

The One that asked what Punishment you propose for violating your
proposed law."

I have read and reread your posts...and you did NOT answer thes
questions.   If you feel you did, perhaps you can do a little copy an
paste yourself in your next messege and point them out to me.

I assume you are intelligiant enough to figure out which portions o
your extensive butt cover....erm clarification of your prior posts I a
responding to...but I've been wrong before

I don't have a problem with someone snipping my remarks. I do if they
refer back to them for information or claiming I did or didn't say
something.

It is not a teeny tiny report. It's a longitudinal study of
considerable scientific rigorously applied research methods. It
explored, for the first time in all research before, and possibly
since, a direct observation of applied methods of parenting on one
subject. A near perfect field study to my mind.

Each of the 33 subject families were described in depth, each child
also. The simple method of teaching rather than using CP to try and
create a child response by pain aversion was elegant and refined as no
other study had ever attempted.

And the basics of social science research accepted methodology has not
changed all that much in 25 years. Standards and analysis are still
much the same.

You may do what you wish, but making value comments on a study you have
not seen is unacceptable judgement of that study.

The Federal government is not allowed to withhold funding to one state
while funding another for the various grants and programs. If your
state doesn't have them someone there is not doing the relatively
simple work to apply for them.

Hence, I have no answer to YOUR problem beyond what I already offered,
and why I asked you questions sometimes rather than answer. I did not
have enough information to give a credible answer to you. I do not
believe I asked evasive questions, hence your rhetorical question that
in fact accused me of dodging was uncalled for.

That is untrue. You are projecting Doans most common methods on me.

Just as now, and throughout the thread, when you gave me more
information requested I answered your questions more fully and did NOT
use that information to "trip" you "up with" your "words."

If you think so, point it out. If true have have most abject apologies
I only have come back at your with some harshness when YOU appeared to
be playing the "Doan Game" with me. A harassing false insinutation
like, "Dodging?"

Perhaps I should. And that I did when you accused me of "Dodging?" We
both know that was an accusation in a rhetorical form.

Upon reading your prior posts and my responses I found NO instances
where I had failed to answer you as fully as was possible, nor did I
ask any questions that were not calculated to gain more information so
I could give an answer...which I then did IF you tendered the
information asked for.

I did it again in this post, without any attempts to 'trip' you up with
your own words.

I don't even need to go back. I can tell you from memory, and in a most
recent post to you pointed them out yet again.

To your first question I answered by pointing out that I would put
requirements in the law to provide for services to the accused. I made
that very clear.

To our second question I answered that the charges and penalties should
be taken from state statutes currently used to prosecute child abuse
NOW.

> I assume you are intelligiant enough to figure out which portions of

> responding to...but I've been wrong before.

You are simply using harassing language to accuse me of what I have not
done. Why would answering your questions then or now be "butt
cover.....?"

You came back at me accusing me of dodging. I have pointed out to you
my prior posts responding to the specific questions you said I did not
respond to. Is that "butt cover.....," to point those out to you when
you asked me to?

Or did you wish to make an accusation and I NOT respond in defense of
my post's contents?

Let's see it again, shall we?

Here is yesterday's post to you answering all your questions in full,
using citations and links back to my messages, and quoting the exact
words I used back then. And they WERE answers to your two questions
above.

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.parenting.spanking/msg/633f218eb338b2ba?hl=en&

Why are you still denying that I answered you when the proof is right
in front of your eyes?

Here is a requote of my original posted comments to your questions from
my message cited above as to link:

"One cannot compel another's actions without due cause. And that has to
be addressed with some action. The only legal action would be child
protection statutes. "

That actually answers both your questions.

One cannot get a parent to be trained if they do not want to...so
obviously, along with the list of sources I know are available
elsewhere (I cannot solve YOUR local problem so don't ask me to and
it's NOT a dodge for me to so state), the answer to your question is
that there must be enforcement.

As to how to force that? That's your second question, what penalty or
punishment would the law apply. "The only legal action would be child
protection statutes." is my answer.

And as I said, I'm not going to list all the states statutes. And that
too is NOT dodging.

If you want an exact answer, as you seemed to for your "lack of
resources in my state," response, and since I do NOT know your state of
residence, then who could I be dodging not to have an answer beyond
what I gave?

> --

You are looking more and more like you simply wish to pick a fight, and
you are an admirer of Doan and his shoddy sick little tricks.

Why are you stating falsely that I did not answer your questions?

You may not like my answers, but they are answers and fair and as
accurate as they can be under the limitations of your information to me
at each step our our posted exchanges.

When you told me more, I answered more fully.

beccafromlalaland - 05 Feb 2006 05:03 GMT
Kane,

You have my apologies I clearly misunderstood your responses.

The current statute for child abuse involves the children being take
away from the parents until said parents complete the require
punishment complete parenting classes and prove that they are stable
This can take Months to Years to complete depending on the severity o
abuse, and in many cases never happens.  During that time children ar
placed with a suitable family member, foster or group home.

This is understandable in situations of abuse.

I do not believe spanking "is" abuse.  I believe it is a misguide
attempt at discipline, from loving parents who do not have the tool
available to them to use gentle discipline.  

If you propose to remove the children from a home, from their lovin
parents who do not "know" any other/better way of discipline then yo
are NOT only punishing the Parents, you are punishing the Children.

You can say that a law against spanking will provide the incentive t
gain the necessary skills to stop spanking.

That may be true...or people will just find new ways to hide thei
behavior

I should work to be more clear. Your criticism is actually helpful in
that way.

This is too important to not be clear.

Actually there are other outcomes in most states. My state and all
those around me do not have a "punishment" penalty. And they do not
take all children away. A fair percentage remain with the parent while
the parent does the various service plan goals.

Some can be as simple as having a "homemaker" come in and work on
programs to housekeep, food buying and prep, child and baby care,
budgeting skill building. And most important, self care.

In 1980-81 when I did my practicum and ended up being hired for a year
part time on a work study program, because of my background, I wound up
supervising homemakers, and participating in parent training. Child
care was provided by the state, on the premises. I used to coordinate
those services and rent, or borrow facilities in folks neighborhood so
they would not have to travel far....and at that they were provided bus
tickets if needed.

Yes.

> This is understandable in situations of abuse.

Some folks have a very hard time getting through it, but have some
pretty major life problems that negatively impacts their ability to
keep their child safe.

We differ on this.

> I believe it is a misguided

We agree on this, to a point. Some folks confuse attachment and
ownership with love.

I don't. That's only ONE possibly outcome of a child abuse founding.
That happens in cases where there is more damage to the child.

> You can say that a law against spanking will provide the incentive to
> gain the necessary skills to stop spanking.

Yes. I've seen many parents learn to parent better because they were on
a CPS services plan, and in most of those cases I knew about them
because a relative (I used to help relatives with various aspects of
foster and adoption) had the child in their care temporarily.

I got to watch the return of the children to their bio parent too.

> That may be true...or people will just find new ways to hide their
> behavior.

That will always be true. People will always find ways to hide their
crimes.

I'm sure you can see that that does not mean we simply should not have
laws.

You will find that laws against spanking have worked in many other
countries.

And people don't lose their children for 'spanking.' Not there, and not
here. People aren't even reported for spanking. They are reported for
suspected abuse.

My best guess is that when spanking is illegal that won't change in the
least. You'd be surprized how many people that spank also abuse.

Like drug use now....people don't lose their children because of drug
use. They come to the attention of CPS because of the things they do or
fail to do as a result of drug use.

Crime...got to jail...can't care for kids....tweaking...can't care for
kids....crashing...can't care for kids.....etc. etc etc.

The only "drug" crime that will result in children being removed for
THE CRIME, is having children present in a meth lab. Some states have
gone one step further, but I can't fault them on that -- just having a
child in a household where drug SALES are taking place.

Best wishes. Kane

No, Doan. You can't seem to remember the sequence of events. The ball

Because I'm not the least interested in "debating" you until you prove

You haven't.

It's not insulting. It in response to her comments about my posting

her questions, and I had.

Who was insulted?

"Far beyond harrassment?" What would you call it?

She may be a decent person, but not a thinking one if she falls for

You are if you think others are fooled by your claims to not having an

You'd done everything possibly to influence them to make them up to
spank, and defended spanking your entire posting history here, and
argued against non spanking.

I simple give her the respect that she has given me.  I am not trying

how much knowledge you have about the Hutterites, or how you are so

That is untrue. I have responded to every post and to every question. I
have asked questions of my own where you asked and confined your premise
to your geo area. I have asked when the question did not make sense in
context. And I have have asked, then gone on to answer the question you
poses or comment you offered where I thought I was being invited to.

> Dodging?

If you can find a place I dodged please point it out and I'll happily
answer, or where I cannot admit I cannot. I will also ask questions to
gain more information about your question so that I can, hopefully, answer.

You did not attribute in the post I'm responding to now any of the prior
posts. When I read them over, as I just did, I do NOT see where your
accusation is true.

But I'm open for correction if you'll point out my 'dodging.'

In fact, I'll go back over my own posts in this thread and do it FOR
you. Feel free to correct my doing so. I do not hide, dodge, mislead,
lie, or otherwise attempt to obfuscate these issues.

And never have.

Kane,
 Are you claiming that the above statements are TRUE 100%?  And that it
is not something you made up as you go along.  Here is your chance to
rectify your "mistake", if any.  ;-)  I am just setting the stage in

this study for what it is and not Embry according Kane.  Go ahead, Kane!

Are you going to claim that your statements are always 100% true? Why,
if not, would you hold me to 100%, other than to have some pissyassed
argument with me over the meaning of a single word that isn't relevant
to the entire statement or article, as you did with "effect" when I
made clear the Canadian study was "correlationa?" Rather than accept my
explanation you simple could not longer argue the content and tried to
play weasel with one word.

You are a cowardly unethical immoral lying pissant, actually. And
you've been posting this same way for years.

And that it
> > is not something you made up as you go along.  Here is your chance to

There is nothing to rectify unless I made a mistake in the nature of a
typo or misunstanding.

YOu, when you debate, instead of seeking clarification and better
information, simply want to take a mistake or something you disagree
with and call the other person a liar, liar.

I am working from a particular study report. If she gets the same one
she will see what I see. And know that every detail of what I have said
exists in the study.

But you, little lying child who does NOT have they study, or you would
have known that 13 was NOT the size of the sample and participants,
will continue to try and fake it.

When the study comes up you will be exposed for the liar you are. Now
all you have to do is convince becca that there is not reason to get
the study.

> >  Go ahead, Kane!
> > Make my day!  ;-)

What a child.

I'm sitting here with the study at my left hand. It's been in my files
for years. I've watched you try to weasel about it. Other's on this ng
have a copy of my copy and know you are lying and weaseling and you
still go on pretending.

The fact you would NOT prove you had the report I did by correctly
answering just a few identifying features of the report makes plain
what a thoroughgoing liar and cheat you are.

Shame on you. And shame has come to  your family because of this lying
practice of yours.
You are lower than a dog.

Kane,

Tell me how would you explain yourself if I use interlibrary loan an
get the study, and the information doesn't match up.  As you hav
implied may happen with your above statement.

What do you mean that you are working from a "particular study report
Does that mean that you yourself don't even have the study in front o

Opps! Wait. What could this be? A little typo, or a little slip of
honesty from the unconscious that some folks don't even believe
in....R R R R R

"Aline?" What an interesting name. It rings a bell with me, but for
the life of me I just can't remember where. Something connected to my
old school ties, or maybe when I was really really little and attended
training for a religious rite with the other little kiddies.
Hmmmm.....maybe it'll come back to me if I give
it.....mmmmpphhhhhh......time. R

> why can't you provide it?

Goodness me oh my. Droany seemed to have snipped that portion of my
post where I answered that question.

And I have provided it, twice now. If and when the recipients care to
tell you so they will. Until then, sweat little Droaner. They KNOW I
told the truth...you they may have a bit of doubt about.

The next time you create a sock story do a better job. You might want
to check in with the couch croucher buddy of yours. He knows a number
of puppet masters...not much better than you though.

"Alina" made her or its case for working with a child. Nothing in the
study is useful for that.

If you were honest you would have TOLD "Alina" 'Aline' that. Anyone
with the real 25 year old study would have NOT offered it to someone
trying to make parenting decisions...it's useful for that....the web
page for Paxis is the place to send a "mommy" who's child is
conveniently to young to discuss actual discipline problems.

Everying going on in this thread is becoming more charmingly
convoluted. I do so love puzzles. I've actually made a bit of an
income with solving one particular puzzle game over the years. Wanna
guess which one? Very popular.

Now I happily pointed Alina to the site where the outcomes and tools
used are offered. If Alina wants more support to decide on whether or
not to use the training materials THAT would be the place to ask for
them.

The study is very old, over 25 years, and is a tool for debate at this
time, not for parenting children.

You screwed up yet again.

In fact you screwed up so bad I can hardly stop laughing.

Here's why:

There is an "Aline" associated with USC. Which of course YOU know, and
if that particular Aline were not in the habit....R R R or should I
say, Habit, and a tad younger she MIGHT have noticed your addy and
just trotted over to see you...R R R R R

http://www.usc.edu/dept/pubrel/trojan_family/summer99/alumninews/AP_g...

So when you have a moment ring her up if she's still living, Class of
`42, R R R R R, tell her you used her name for a scam.....and it
didn't work.

Aline Marie Gerber, who is pictured on her Alumni Profile page in
Habit as a nun.

Gosh, why didn't you give your puppet a last name, like maybe, R R R
R, "Doheny?"

Your spanish isn't bad, but I suspect, like all your other drivel, you
had someone translate for you. What a sap.

Good one, Droaner, when you lie you go bigtime don't you. I wonder how
she'd like knowing you used HER name for this sickness of yours.

And....mmmmpphhhhh....R R R R, if you hadn't slipped and used the real
name you cobbled the sock puppet name, "Alina" from, I might never
have caught you....but don't count on it. My research skills are
formidable, as some twits here have found out the hard way.

>Doan

So, shall we wait to see what happens? Why of course we will, because
when Aline, opps, "Alina" says the study has arrived I'll have the
same questions for "Alina" that I had for you.

We'll see if you have the study I have.

I hope Gerald and "Alina" have a high speed connection to the
internet. That's a lot of graphics to send.

And please, do try to lie your way out with a "coincidence" argument.
It fits right in there with all the other times you've been caught
lying.

BINGO.......R R R R......BANGO......R R R R R R R
R........B!O!N!G!O!!!!!

Now go stand in front of the mirror and tell youself in a confident,
yelling voice, "I STILL HAVE FACE."

Posting history for "Alina" from "Mexico" when I asked "her" why she
hadn't gotten "the study" you claimed you provide, said, "I can't
afford the postage and he wants me to send him a stamped evelope." Come
on Doan. No one is that poor. Not even in Mexico.

Hell, Doan, it even sound like "becca."

4/6/2004 6:59 PM

"I don't want to be rude, but I am not interested in your ongoing
online argument with Doan, or to scam either of you two.
I have, however, asked him for that study. It is ME that is taking
long now, because he has asked that I send an envelope so he can snail
mail it back. Baby is still a little sick so I have not gone out or
done much.
If it helps you in any way, yes, I will let you know when I have it."

4/15/2004 5:06 AM

"Um... no, I have done nothing about it yet :-/
I *will* let you know as soon as anything happens.

Best regards,

Alina."

In checking "Alina's" posting history I find, even with repeats on her
only about fifty post, and only 26 originals. ONE only to a group that
should have been somewhere, given the health issues, she would have
very likely posted many times. Her ONE and only post there appeared to
pick up the thread, as though she was engaged previously in the thread.
Nonsense.

She posted ONE post in Spanish. One. And never showed up in that group
again.

Her last post anywhere was after a great long gap and right about the
time I started pointing out to you AGAIN that you were "Alina."
Interesting coincidence, eh?

With Aline/Alina?

You didn't point her to the studies you claimed you had a copy of, Doan.
Why now, but not then.

What, R R R R, could possibly be different now?

Were they not available through the same sources then? hehehehe.

> Doan

A problem you long term liars have is that you grow increasingly unable
to sort out your lies, and lose track of them. Additionally you become
more sure of yourself and presume that others won't notice.

You count on new posters to just buy your bullshit without looking.
Sometimes you are right....R R R R ...and sometimes you are wrong.

And sometimes I'll point it out again.

So, why was it you told "Aline/Alina" she would have to send you a
stamped addressed envelope when she could have gotten it ONLINE, as the
post you included with the abstract said?
Hmmmmmmmm?

Faker.

I write Aline from time to time. Funny, she never responds. Now why is
that I wonder.

Do you really want me to start posting the evidence from what I refer to
below? Happy to, if you don't start coming clean and start admitting the
obvious; that you lied about being in favor of parents making up their
own minds. That's like Hitler saying he was just sending the Jews to
lovely rest camps. He sent them. The destination just wasn't as
described. Yours isn't either, Doan. You are lying. Probably even to
yourself. No surprize, for the spanked.

Duck little monkeyboy, here it comes again:

How many years now ....  ... of posting that he wants "parents to make
up their own mind?"

How many years of attacking any information, opinion, or personal story
in support of non-spanking?

How many years of defending everything from the pro spanking side?

How many years of letting slide posters like Fern that supported
parents beating their children bloody publicly?

How many years of siding with people that, like Fern, advocated for
parents to have the last word on whether or not to beat children until
they bleed?

How many years of riding every bogus hobby horse of the pro spanking
noodniks like Lazerlere, and Dobson...the dog "trainer?" The one that
thinks raising children is a matter of going to war with them?

Doan, the first day I viewed this ng I spotted you for a phony. A quick
google search on your posting confirmed it. And nothing I've seen since
changes that.

You have no intention of allowing parents to make up their own mind,
or you would, like any truly objective fence sitter, treat each side of
the question equally or you'd hold your views.

You are a little child, stuck back where you were first betrayed by
your parents with those blows to your body and your mind.

It's apparently made you even lie to yourself, if you believe this sh.t
you've posted all these years about your neutrality on this subject.

A phony. How very childishly sad you appear.

Exactly as I did in the past. I told Doan that I was willing, according
to HIS challenge to debate the Embry study, to do so if he had the same
report I did. I offered to do so when he claimed he had it.

He failed to produce even the simplest proof based on MY information in
the report I have.

The "report" is the study result. All the paperwork, forms, etc. are not
published as far as I know. If you have access to the entire thing,
notes and all, excellent..but the report is what is usually read and
considered. Unless he's published in a journal or other professional
publication on this. Is he?

Do you have the one he is pointing you to?

What would the name of it be?

And I thought you had turned down any involvement with our exchange,
Doan and I, on the Embry report?

If this is a valid viable study there would be no difference i
research report, or study outcome, no difference in the sample size.
But from what I have read from both of you and on my own there is
difference of 20 subjects between what you are quoting and what Doa
and I have found.  It's suspicious.

From what I have been able to gather this is not publishing in an
scholarly journals.  Probably because the sample size is too small t
be considered anywhere near to accurate/average results.  

The "report" from my understanding of research would be the basi
outline of the "study" which would be the entire paper research note
and all.  So you only have the "report"

I have not obtained a copy of the Paper, The name/title has bee

When I see things that don't add up I ask questions that is how on

what you had previously claimed, so I inquired further.

As to your claim in a prior post that I sound like "Alina/Aline"  It'

Nothing suspicious at all.  The 20 EXTRA subjects were NOT observed, no
baseline data.  Thus, nothing can be drawn from these children on whether
their rate of street entries declined or increased.  The data that were
available are from the sample size of 13 that were observed.  No one can
claim that the sample size is anything other than 13.  It's just simple
logic!   The question now, and the one that Kane avoiding, is which data
in the study support this claim from Kane:

"Pretty remarkable when one considers that parents who spanked before
had children that attemped entries at the highest rate of all per hour."

You forfeited any right to a response from me some time ago on the Embry
study, Doan.

So I see no reason to answer any questions regarding it.

You are now reduced again to simply what you have always been: a dancing

the sidelines.

Sidelining is all you have ever done.

How would you know one way or the other?

Do you get the feeling that I might have been just a step ahead of you?

R R R R

Doan, like I said. YOU challenged ME. I agreed to debate Embry with you
WHEN you proved you had the same report I did. You refused to
participate at that point, despite many offers to, if you would admit
you lied, send you the report myself. You did't follow through.

You continued to fabricate. Your posting of an abstract shows damn well
you did not have, and still do not have the study.

You haven't sent her a copy. You didn't send "Aline/Alina" a copy, but
cause that was you sock, little boy.

And, just so you can continue to dance, and play with others over the
Embry study, I'll tell you were to get it. UC Sacramento, at Davis of
course, WERE I WENT to School for a time, says they have a listing. A
copy? I do not know.

And, you can get it for 10 cents a page, (140 pages) from AAA. Look it
up. The report I have with appendixes is only about 70+ pages, but I
presume AAA includes the workbook and or other materials.

But your time with me is up. Dance monkeyboy.

You didn't "catch me." I posted the correction myself. That's hardly
"catching."

Yer just a common liar, Doan. You used to have a least a little talent

You can say anything you wish, and I'll not respond to you on the Embry

At the time I made that statement the AAA copies were not

copy service at 10 cents a page. It was then neither a mistake or a lie.
YOU are lying.

Where did I say that? I sure didn't say there was no "reward."

I said I disagreed with Embry's characterization of the Time out
procedure as "punishment." I could hardly call it punishment if I did
not think it to BE punishment.

And that's because in the report the description in more detail of the
Sit and Watch procedure was anything but a punishment. In fact, it was
"rehearsed" with the child so it would not be seen as such by the child.

I didn't say there was no punishment, only that I disagreed with Embry
on that definition. In fact you know that's what I said because you
challenged me with "you think you are smarter than Embry?"

You've lied again, twice. Provide a citation for were I said there was
no "punishment and reward."

And you are concealing, by focusing on these irrelevant to the findings,
bits and pieces, the meat of the experiment.

By the way, when did a 13 sample size (actually comprising almost twice
that many participants...if you count ALL, the children AND their
parents) get to be irrelevant in an experiment?

This wasn't a representative sample. It was an experimental sample.

And it's been replicated. 0:-> Successfully.

You don't want to reveal what they found do you? Not until you have

It's a put-on, dummyboy. And you are trying to use it to engage someone

Embry didn't do "one" study in his professional life, becca. He's done
many. This paticular subject, twice. He even refers, in his report, to
child subjects from the "prior" study being referred to the
non-baseline-observed group precisely because they and their parents had
participated in a prior study and might influence the outcome of this
one -- now get this -- because the parents had already learned parenting
skills they might apply to this study.

In other WORDS THEY HAD ALREADY LEARNED SKILLS THAT WERE NOT INCLUSIVE
OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.

What's suspicioius to me is that Doan, who has claimed to have "the
study" which is, with appendixes 140 pages, and is unaware of this line
from the report:
"METHOD
 Subjects
Thirteen preschool-aged children and their parents participated in the
observational phase of the program, and another 20 preschool-aged
children and their parents participated in the program but where not
observed."

 (The non-"observed" where NOT excluded from the study.They are as
thoroughly described as part of the sample as the 13 are. In fact the 20
and 13 are described in Table 1 under "Subjects" as: Observed and
Non-Observed Participating Children by Sex, Age, and Special
Characteristics. And their parents, described in Table 2 as
"Occupational Status of Participating Parents" numbered from S1 through
S33....that is why I have consistently used the number 33....but the
author of the abstract did NOT read the entire report and understand
that the two groups WERE in fact participants in the study. The 13 are
used for the active portion of the study, that is their street entry and
multivariate information is used.

What I find significant is that Doan never KNEW there were 33 children
in all. )

Yes, he is that.

You need to remember that HIS was the challenge to debate Embry, and
mine a refusal to do so until we both had the SAME report...since I
knew, but did not tell him...that there had been TWO studies on the same
subject, but conducted in the first one without a "training program
package."

The reason I would not debate him without the same one is that he's
famous for making it up as he goes..presuming results that are not
there, criticizing research for things it was not intended to show,
demanding it show what HE wishes it to show instead of what the methods
statement SAYS it was meant to examined.

He's just an arrogant bullshitter. Always has been, always will be.

Not only did I never claim it was, I expressly pointed out to Doan a
very long time ago that it was not and that that was why one had to get
it from Embry. At that time I was unaware that AAA still would provide
it (they ended printing some years back -- which I already knew) on a
"copy on demand" for 10 cents a page.

Things change. When they do, Doan will claim you lied. Funny little
monkeyboy.

> Probably because the sample size is too small to
> be considered anywhere near to accurate/average results.

It was NOT a survey study to determine "average" results against a
representative larger population. It was an experimental study to
determine the outcomes of applying a packaged parenting program. Nothing
else. Stop Doananating.

A research sample is a research sample. This study was not presented as
anything but what it was. 13 observed children and families. It means
what it means, and sample size is NOT critical because it is NOT being
presented as a "representative sample" study. No larger population is
being considered.

AND, what Doan doesn't know, until now, of course, is that this study
has been replicated and is in good standing with peers.

Closed multivarate studies (which is what is meant by "experiments") are
NOT about projecting the results on a larger population, but simply
experimenting. 13 is a MORE than adequate number to TEST A THEORY.

They would like there to be more study, and application against larger
populations, and they even did some math projections, if their results
could be duplicated in the larger population, that calculated the
projected better outcome for injury and death of children in street
traffic accidents.

In fact, you can test a theory with ONE as a sample, and present it, and
let others in the field go from there. They can chose to ignore your
work, or run their own replication and see what they get.

Doan is doing everything possible to confuse and divert because he knows
damn well what Embry showed.

And similar work has been done in applied psychology for years, some of
which Embry drew upon to cite in his own work -- as research experiment
study reports are must do to for professional credibility.

I have a habit of citing rather a lot myself, or hadn't you noticed.

> The "report" from my understanding of research would be the basic
> outline of the "study" which would be the entire paper research notes
> and all.  So you only have the "report"

That is what is submitted. If you wish "the study" which would be all
notes, charts, field records of observers, etc. then you would have to
go to, if it were a thesis or dissertation, the dissertation and thesis
stores and buy a copy. Xerox owns them.

This is neither. It was a study done for AAA and is available, according
to them, for .10 cents per page, 140 pages total.  Some years back I
could not get it from that source as they simply listed it as "out of
print." Things change.

Doan will continue to criticize this "study" for something it was not
intended to be. His usual bullshit "debate," and you are falling for it.

This was not a survey. It was an experiment. They are very different in
makeup and criteria.

What I found remarkable about the "workshop" format was that even though
the parents were NOT consistently participating fully, there was STILL,
over a six month period, a sharp reduction in street entry rates by
children even with only SOME of the methods taught to parents being
used.  (Down to 10% of the rate of street entries baseline prior to the
workshop).

That's a lot of lives to be saved, and injuries not happening if the
results will extrapolate. In the report Embry gives some of the criteria
needed in delivery to increase the likelihood of it working in the
larger community.

One consistent thing I found was a direct correlation between reduction
in the rate of street entries to the reduction in parental reprimands.
Less repremands equated with LESS street entries.

And most remarkable, from the DISCUSSION portion of the report, the
following:

"A parent workshop and special storybooks for their children were
effective in reducing children's entries into the street to a rate
approximately 10% of that observed during baseline." ...

and:

"The package (of materials and training) also increased parents' use of
praise and reward for safe play and children's correct identification of
photographs depicting safe play. The program reduced the rate at which
parents reprimanded their chidren for unsafe play. ... In summary, the
package succeeded in altering all the various taget behaviors of
participating children and their parents."

No, that would not be odd at all if you found yourself with a prior
study with a different name.

There was a prior study. It was reported by "Report #1. It was not the
same as this study. One might think of this one as the second phase. I
don't know Embry's thinking, but if he had not planned to go on after
the first study, what he found apparently influenced him to go on and
learn more.

But as I said, I don't know that. It's simpy speculation and logical.
It's how I would, and have proceeded. I tend, when I found something
that either confounds my beliefs, or suggests much more to the story
than I currently know, to explore more.

I am sorry if I was unclear. That's just part of sorting through things

I've not claimed you shouldn't or questioned you for doing so, only

still are. I admire that.

I don't think that's quite accurate. I think I said that something you
said sounded like "Alina/Aline."

I was not pointing out that you sound the same, but that a comment very
specifically did. That has little to do with age and intelligence. How
do you know you and "Alina/Aline" are the same intelligence?

As for why I asked about the title, and why I've known that Doan did not
have this particular study, I quote from the same section of this one:

"The present study reveals the possibility of making durable, positive
changes in children's pedestrian-accident related behavior near their
home---better effects than obtained previously in a modeling-only
condition (Embry & Malfetti, 1980)."

So you see, THIS study followed closely on the heels of a prior study,
referred to above, and in fact elsewhere in this study report. This
study report was first published by AAA in 1981.

And as for the two populations, "observed" and "unobserved," and their
participation: "Why was their a differential rate of correct responses
to generalization probes among observed and nonobserved children,
favoring nonobserved children?" (this goes to clarify BASELINE observed
and nonobserved, not unobsered in the active portion of the experiment)

The answer in the study had to do with age. The baseline "unobserved"
children were older.
Cognition was different.

In other words, the "unobserved" were not ignored. Just not observed in
some portions.

Do get a copy of the study if you can.

I can tell you that UC Sacramento lists a copy in their library, but
unless you have privs you cannot get it. Doan could, but he is no more
interested in getting this study and honestly dealing with it than
having a broken leg.

It shoots huge holes in one of the darling arguments of the pro spanking
nonsense minded folks posted here for years.

None of them would ever try to find this study.

AAA has had the report for a very long time....1981.  It's been
superceded by more research since, but NONE of that negated Embry and
Malfetti's findings. Nothing.

In fact, one day the truth will come out. That parents that reprimand,
and those that in fact use Corporal Punishment show up in the family
profile of child victims of vehicle accidents more.

In other words, they are teaching their child to run into the street.

It's just not popular to say so as yet. Embry in discussing this issue
says in regard to the one family that had a child that did NOT improve,
"Since the family profile resembled that of children who had been
involved in accidents (Backett & Johnsont, 1959), lack of success with
the family is a matter of some concern."

My own take, exactly, having worked with families since the mid-70's.
Spankers and punishers have a higher incidence of "problem" children. Of
course they say it's a "chicken or the egg" question of having to be
harsher with the more 'difficult child.'

Having turned such families around many times I've disproven that to my
own satisfaction repeatedly.

Once again. This was not a survey of the incidence of some phenomena in
a sample population. This was an experiment conducted along the standard
guidelines for such human experiments, apparently conducted with
considerable attention to ethics (as Embry's remarks show) and with an
outcome that it is said was prompted by a turnaround in Embry's own
beliefs prior to his FIRST experimental study....that spanking worked.

Embry apparently thought it did. He learned, as serious scientists so
often do, that the conventional wisdom was anything but wise.

In this study, by the way, observers were trained to track "Punishment"
which right from the page, is define as "grabbing, squeezing hard, and
spanking."

Doan has built a wondeful castle of lies, out of bits and pieces of
information, a bit of deduction, and his own imagination. He misses the
details, which I can read at my leisure from the actual report  --  of
the most RECENT of the Embry studies on street entries.

And the abstract that comes with this study report #2?

Mine, the one accompanying the report opens with the line: "Children
enjoy playing outdoors, but playing around traffic leads to pedestrian
accidents." ...

The Doan abstract opens with: "A traffic safety program consisting of a
workshop for parents and the use of special storybooks with their
children was effective in reducing 13 preschool children's entries into
the street to a rate approximately 10% of that previously observed. " ...

Now of the two, I actually prefer the one Doan copied and pasted. It is
much more descriptive overall, and makes very clear he has come into
that dead end he's tried so carefully to avoid....evidence that spanking
and CP does NOT work.

He thinks he's a happy boy because he sees all kinds of ways to continue
to obfuscate, but he's wrong. He's simply taken himself out of the picture.

An EXPERIMENTAL sample of 13 is NOT an insignificant number, nor does it
call into question his reported outcomes.  And there were 20 others that
were assessed...and showed also that there was an increased
understanding and response from children concerning safe play around
street traffic.

Altogether, a nightmare for the liars, and or fools that have populated
this ng in favor of and support of (Doan) spanking as a reasonable
choice for parents.

Just as other ways humans have done things for "thousands of years" and
"it worked" this barbaric and outmoded method of child control will come
to an end.

And often America is in the forefront of such changes. The law is coming.

Thanks for your input.

LOL!  I am more than aware of it.  In fact, the study said:
"Participating families were divided into observed and non-observed
subjects on the basis of one of two factors: (a) the family had
participated in the Practical Parenting Class offered at the University,
or (b) initial baseline observations revealed a zero or near-zero rate of
entry into the street."

"Children with zero or near-zero baseline rates of entry into the street
were switched to the nonobserved participates, because little if any
experimental control over the child's behavior could be demonstrated as a
result of participation."

At the time I made that statement the AAA copies were not

YOU are lying.

Where did I say that? I sure didn't say there was no "reward."

I said I disagreed with Embry's characterization of the Time out
procedure as "punishment." I could hardly call it punishment if I did
not think it to BE punishment.

And that's because in the report the description in more detail of the
Sit and Watch procedure was anything but a punishment. In fact, it was
"rehearsed" with the child so it would not be seen as such by the child.

I didn't say there was no punishment, only that I disagreed with Embry
on that definition. In fact you know that's what I said because you
challenged me with "you think you are smarter than Embry?"

You've lied again, twice. Provide a citation for were I said there was
no "punishment and reward."

And you are concealing, by focusing on these irrelevant to the findings,
bits and pieces, the meat of the experiment.

By the way, when did a 13 sample size (actually comprising almost twice
that many participants...if you count ALL, the children AND their
parents) get to be irrelevant in an experiment?

This wasn't a representative sample. It was an experimental sample.

And it's been replicated. 0:-> Successfully.

Really?  Here is the actual quotes:

Doan:
He would also know that along with positive reinforcement, giving stickers for
safe play, Dr. Embry also prescribed punishment, using time-out, for unsafe
play.

Kane:
"Actually he did no such thing. He prescribed sitting and watching
other children playing safely. Dr. Embry knows how the human brain
actually works and the power of learning through modeling.

This tells me clearly you DO NOT have the study at all. "

Sure I remember. That would be both of us, yet you have failed to post
all our argument on this issue. Why is that?

Could it be because I pointed out I disagreed with one definition of
Embry as to "punishment," and agreed with another?

Does Embry not utilize "sitting and watching other children playing
safely" as part of the process? Why would sitting and watcing be a
"punishment?" It's not to me, and he describs it in non punitive terms,
which of course you are avoiding.

No Doan, you deliberately attempt to mislead and you do so by quoting

Which part do you not understand in the context of what I said next? Is
that how to win an argument, Doan, to ignore the explanation and
clarification?

It's cleary how you dodge the issues.

You said, above: "Dr. Embry also prescribed punishment, using time-out,
for unsafe play."

I said, because I disagree with calling it 'punishment,' regardless of
who uses the term, you or him, that "time out for unsafe play," is the
same as "Sit and Watch." The latter is not punishment in my terms, so I
said  "Actually he did no such thing."

In fact there was NO Timeout for unsafe play that was not called, "Sit
and Watch" in the context of watching other children in safe play.

That does NOT say he didn't call it punishment, but that it simply was
NOT punishment in my book.

Your command of english is overcome by your capacity for and compulsive
lying.
How delusional are you?

No, I did NOT say he said no such thing.

I said that he 'did' no such thing. "Sit and Watch," as I explained
later and you keep hiding our conversation on it, is not to my mind
'punishment.'

In the study methods described by him he in fact goes to considerable
lengths to not only make Sit and Watch a learning experience, but he
has his observers post it differently than 'punishment.'

If you do have the study you know perfectly well 'punishment' is
defined for coding as "grab, squeeze hard, and spank." Sit and Watch is
NOT coded as "punishment."

That is yet another reason I took exception to "time out" (Sit and
Watch being the only kidn used) being considered a punishment.

How much longer are you going to lie about this?

The context of my willingness to clarify my meaning when you challenged
it.

I pointed out clearly, and you posted it above, that I do not consider
Sit and Watch punishment. What HE calls it, we have established months
ago, I do NOT agree with. That is why I phrased my comment as I did.

I did not say he didn't "say" it. I said he didn't DO it. That plainly
state, and obviously so, by my standards.

If you did NOT understand that, then why did you challenge me as
thinking I was a smart as Embry to challenge him?

The answer, of course, is that you wish to harass, not debate. 0:->

And he even had the parents rehearse it with the children before
actually using it to reduce the likelihood of a negative reaction to
it. It was a time to sit and observe others playing safely.

Otherwise it would not say "Sit and Watch" others playing safely.

By YOUR standards, and that of others devoted to punishment models that
might appear as a 'punishment,' but not to my standards.

I would not even allow the child to presume it was punishment. Study
the study monkeyboy.  Try to get out of your biases.

Then when you've given becca a copy, <smirk> try to convince here. I
don't debate the meaning with you.  By the way, I paid for all copies I

You never have before, and you haven't now.

What inter library loan?

One avaiable to the general public?

Please clarify.

By the way, have you any research available on the efficacy of
CP/Spanking as an effective long term teaching strategy for parents?

We've been waiting years, and nothing?

And yes, there is plenty of material, one of which you have now,
finally (liar), about none CP methods being more effective.

And no, we won't provide it in some format you insist it much be in.

When YOU provide real research on spanking's effectiveness your demands
will be easily met. Because, Doan, there is no such thing, nor will
there ever be. All use of pain and humiliation has been proven to be
ineffective with other variables being MORE important overall to the
responses of the subjects studied. Even Singapore is a case in point.
What "works" there does not in other places.

Spanking has been thoroughly discredited scientificially. You know it,
I know it, and the majority of those that have posted in this ng in the
past, knows it as well.

That's why, you sad, silly, anachronistic holdout, they are gone and
you have nothing left but harrassment.

Rather childish harassment at that.

All YOU can do now is harass people that come here wishing to
rationally discuss current research. You've tried it again twice with

Kane,

her own decisions.  I take about half of what Doan says and let it fly
just like I take about half of what you say and let it fly.  I a

what I am reading on my own.

I have one question for you...well maybe two.

You said that for an experiment 13 is enough participants or somethin
to that effect.

In my research in college I was taught that 50 or more participants fo
an experiment, or 50 or more trials of the same experiment  to gain a
accurate picture of wether the hypothesis is true or not.   13 subject
still seems awfully small to me, that is one of the things that i
putting me off from this.  I don't feel he proved his hypothesis,
feel he "got lucky" with the outcome.

Now for my second question :-)

If the parents were not consistent, and the trial was over the cours
of 6months.  HOW can Dr. Embry or you or anyone else say that thi
experiment proved anything?   Young Children mature and learn a LOT i
6months, their reduction in street entries could be from maturing an
gaining an understanding that if you run out into the street you'l
probably end up road kill.  The fact that they parents were no
consistent also says to me that the results are probably not a
accurate as they could be (esp with the small sample size)  

For a "good" scientific experiement you should have a control group,
Was there one?  Or was this just...hey parents do this and we're gonn
see in 6months how many of your kids run into traffic

Okay. It did not appear as though you were before.

That depends on the nature of the experiment. Very valid experiments
have worked with about that number. Remember the infamous, but
significant experiment in applied psychology that showed that those in
a position of power, such as prison guards will in fact abuse that
power, and will follow orders to do immoral and unethical things?

No such experiment is possible now because it was so abusive and
ethical boundaries disappeared so fast, but it stands as a powerful
example and a valid experiment.

http://www.prisonexp.org/slide-1.htm

The experiment lasted only 6 days....the participants went 'bad'
(guards) so rapidly...and it had to be cancelled. Only 24 subjects were
involved. And only half, randomly chosen, were guards. That's a pretty
small sample, even by Embry's standards.

Yet it stands as a benchmark for how corruptable we humans can be in
situations were we weild such extraordinary power.

I in fact, used to use it in parenting classes to point out how very
easy it is abuse children and presume it's perfectly right to do so. We
simply have  so very much power.

So, 13 mights seem small to you, but it's not in reality.

Really? Yet I have seen the same results on a practical basis for many
years.
I've never heard, by the way, of  requirement for 50 or more trials for
validation. Nor have I heard scientific experimentation referred to
with terms such as "true."

Have you any references for a standard of 50 subjects with 50 or more
trials? That's extraordinary in social science research. No quoted
studies in this ng have ever come from such methodology, from either
side.

By looking at the results.  Human subjects are not consistent in
anything much. In fact even in materials testing the samples are not
totally consistent with each other. You are setting impossible
criteria. No group can be gathered that can be controlled or guaranteed
to be consistent in their actions.

The best that can be done is to gather a generalized group wish similar
characteristics that matter. Age of child subjects in this case.

Yes, that is true.

And, the sample would all age at the same rate.

And measuring the children who recieved one level of the product
against other children how did not and the outcomes would be
significant. Possibly we should wait until you have a copy?

What I saw was that those children whose parents were somewhat
consistent in delivery of the instruction had similar outcomes....a
reduction to 10% of the street entries prior to the program. A few did
not, and those were where the mother did not use, or did not correctly
apply the program.

Please explain how one would create an experiment where the observers
did not have an untoward influence on the subjects yet could maintain
consistency of reactions and actions by the subjects.

That's not possible. This, becca, is the typical response I see from
Doan all the time. Can you see why I said you seem to be like him?

I believe it was he who once submitted the commentary of a medical
doctor about Straus' et al study on CP, insisting it was not valid
because it did not follow the rigorous discipline of health experiments
(and Straus' study was NOT even an experiment, simply an observational
survey).

The problem of course, besides the unethical demand for one kind of
research to be conducted by the rules of another that did not and
cannot apply to both kinds, was that the good doctor insisted that it
be a 'destructive' experiment.

In other words, saying we cannot learn if children turn out badly from
spanking must require that children be taken at birth, raised in exact
replicated invironments, and spanked or not on certain determined
schedules and methods. I presume at the end point they'd have to be
autopsied to measure brain weight, and characteristics.

Totally bogus demands on social science survey and experimental
studies.

In fact, that's what blew out the Standford Prisoner experiment. It was
destructive of the subjects.

Embry did a remarkable job. And he didn't have 13 subject. He had 13
FAMILIES, about twice the number of actual participants.

Both child and parents outcomes were considered. Not just the number of
street entries, but how parents handled children in parenting matters.

Oh brother.

You mean a group that in fact were allowed to go into traffic?

Yes, there WAS such a control group. It's called the number of
fatalities of toddler's in street entry accidents.

They did in fact come back in 6 months, after "we're gonna do this" and
they did count the number of attempted or actual street entries.

Were do you think the currently 10% of the prior to the program number
of street entries
came from?

I think you need the study. Are you having trouble finding it? It's
fairly cheep from AAA if you want it, or you can use the inter-library
system at your local library. We'll assume they have access to college
and university library materials.

If you have trouble getting it let me know. Or better, Doan. He seems
to think it's now easy to get. 0:->

Or do you wish to discuss it with only information coming from me?

I might make a mistake, after all, or according to Doan, lie.

You wouldn't want that, now would you?


Kane
Doan - 13 Feb 2006 17:53 GMT
The question you have been avoiding, Kane, is where in the study can you
find data to back up your claim:

"Pretty remarkable when one considers that parents who spanked before
had children that attemped entries at the highest rate of all per hour."

IS THIS ANOTHER "MISTAKE"?  In fact the actual study said NOTHING about
spanking but reprimand.  Here is the quotes:

"While some may find it strange that reprimands might increase the chances
of a child going into the street, the literature on the experimental
analysis of behavior is replete with examples of how "attention to
inappropriate behavior" increases the chances of more inappropriate
behavior.  Thus, suggestions to parents that they talk to or reason with
their children about dashing into the street will likely to have the
opposite impact. Reprimands do not punish unsafe behavior; they reward
it."

Here is another chance for you to rectify your "mistake", Kane.  Do the
honorable thing and apologize! ;-)

I come from a background of perhaps more scientific research.  Give m
anything on Human communication, or Radio and Television broadcasting.
Even Adversiting and Public Relations. and I know what you're talkin
about and what is expected in research.  I don't think I said that 5
or more is required (although I may be mistaken, can't remember what
wrote) but having 50 or more trials or subjects makes the outcome o
the work more....plausable (that may not be the word I want to use,
have a baby on my lap so I'm not fully engaged at the moment)  An
you're right the word True isn't an appropriate word.  I think the wor
is PROVE  in order to Prove the hypothesis you must have a base fro
which to build your research.  A broad base (more subjects, or mor
trials) builds a strong foundation to build from there.

and that is precisly why a larger pool of participants is needed.
Because you can't count on Human's being consitant.  With a large
group of participants you can weed out those who followed the protoco
exactly, somewhat, mostly, or not at all.  It gives a better Idea o
what works what doesn't.  And makes the research results stronger.
Having a larger participation base would help support the evidenc

No, what that, and many other such experiments show, like the famous
shock the victim experiment, is that the vast majority of us will both
abuse power and follow unethical orders. A few people in the latter
experiment even hit the shock button when the dial was set to "lethal."

That even shook the experimenters, seasoned though they were.

Of course the recipient "victims" were just actors, but good ones.

What makes the big difference between will or won't abuse power in the
parent child dyad is the bonding that takes place between mother and
child at birth, and the attachment that grows over time.

And it's a two way street. The child learns from the model of the parent
not to abuse power. We all have it, even babies, as any mother can tell
you. 0:->  It's foundation is our innate capacity for the empathy
response, but it has to be supported and not disrupted, just alike other
human traits.

Spanking disrupts that learning. And the ability to self control our use
of power over others. Thus we need laws to control us. Sad, isn't it?

Of course. The question is though, where is the cutoff point, upward for
practicality, and downward for determining the results are no longer
valid. The upward limit is usually budget related, and the downward, by
the nature of the experiment. This one was calculated to determine if it
effected 2-4 year olds.

Logically you are correct about the aging and greater understanding, but
 the "proof" would be in the larger population. Does in fact the rate
of street entry accident drop more, less, or the same, in the general
population as this group of children whose parents and they participated.

I trust that college instructors are careful to urge the sample size
number upward from a conservative point of view. I agree. I also know
that both budget and the nature of the experiement move that dial up or
down without damage to the experiment.

Actually weeding out AFTER the start of the experiment would invalidate.
No peer review would let that pass.

The objective of science is not and never should be, to prove something
right, or wrong, correct or incorrect, but to examine it without
preconceieved outcomes. Yes, a larger base always adds more credibility
but it's like putting more soap in the wash than is needed. You can only
get the clothes so clean.

That is why replication is urged. It took place. When we've beaten Embry

Nope, everyone didn't. That is the purpose of statistical analysis in
science. All children, for instance, did not have a 10% reduction in
street entries. That's the group percentage.

We never see single scientific experiments of any kind provide finite
answers. Nature, and human nature, simply don't work that way.

I would never, for instance, tell someone that this is the only
experimental work to consider in making a decision not to spank, or to
spank. And I'm not doing so in this instance. This is but a foundation
for work that followed, and like any reputable scientist, Embry built on
the work of others, whom he cites for various elements of consideration
in his report.

The ultimate of course would be to be invisible. In this instance he did
not allow the observers to be any of the program trainers. And there was
time that the parents were not even present outdoors with the child. And
the child did in fact do street entries. That hardly equates with the
observers having an influence suppressing street entries and pressure on
parents to be present.

Yes. Your criticizm is duly noted. It also not required to have a
massive size based on the outcomes he recorded and analyzed. He was
careful to NOTE himself the limitations inherent.

The study is not a study that says you must stop spanking your child at
all costs. It is a study that says simply, "this is what we found."

No, the doctor was very clear on his criticism. And the submission to
the newsgroup was no mistake.  And no one could mistake Straus' study
and the report to be about anything but a survey. No experiment was set
up. No learning, nothing but questioning the subject sample as to their
practices.

The control group already existed. It is the public. Embry was examining
the public records of street entry injury and deaths by age. That's a
fairly large control group sample, when you consider he was using
national data. He could be fairly certain virtually none of those
families had his program and been taught it.

> A Control group is a group just
> allowed to continue on their merry way.  

Yes. The entire nation of children 2-4 years old data was already
available. He was looking for changes to a small representative group by
way of exposure to his program. He again noted the limitations, as his
tended to be whitecollar, and suggested further study with blue color
and other groups.

Already available information. One would simply be repeating what is in
the public record.

Yes we do to the extent it could be tested. The question should be, did
the public data support that children in the 6 month span of time of the
same age have a reduction to 10% of injuries and deaths from street
entry that corresponded to NO SUCH program, just a change in age.

It didn't. The difference between 2 and 2.5 years, or 3 and 3.5 years,
and 4 and 4.5 years is unlikely to tell you much of anything, no matter
how fast children are learning at that age. They still fall far short of
any real capacity to judge the speed of oncoming automobiles.

Some of your questions are covered in the study.

A little bit of advice....read the post fully and THEN respond.  You'l
avoid sounding  like an idiot when you have to go back and ask question
about things you have already responded to.

I was being playfully friendly with you  when I asked for you
copy...hence the use of the "LOL" I was joking.

If you can't remember and follow a simple dialouge from day to da
that's your problem not mine.  Having Lengthy bits of conversatio
floating through posts irritates me, it is redundant an
unnecessary....at least for me.  Perhaps you should do some memor
excercises, to aide in your ability to follow along, without
reference to something either you wrote or you read from an earlie
post.  

Another bit of advice.  and yes I am yelling at you in this nex
portion just so we are clear.

NEVER EVER, MENTION MY PARENTING OR THE WAY I CHOOSE TO RAISE M

How many years now ....  ... of posting that he wants "parents to make
up their own mind?"

How many years of attacking any information, opinion, or personal story
in support of non-spanking?

How many years of defending everything from the pro spanking side?

How many years of letting slide posters like Fern that supported
parents beating their children bloody publicly?

How many years of siding with people that, like Fern, advocated for
parents to have the last word on whether or not to beat children until
they bleed?

How many years of riding every bogus hobby horse of the pro spanking
noodniks like Lazerlere, and Dobson...the dog "trainer?" The one that
thinks raising children is a matter of going to war with them?

Doan, the first day I viewed this ng I spotted you for a phony. A quick
google search on your posting confirmed it. And nothing I've seen since
changes that.

You have no intention of allowing parents to make up their own mind,
or you would, like any truly objective fence sitter, treat each side of
the question equally or you'd hold your views.

You are a little child, stuck back where you were first betrayed by
your parents with those blows to your body and your mind.

It's apparently made you even lie to yourself, if you believe this sh.t
you've posted all these years about your neutrality on this subject.

So thanks.

I didn't require an apology of you. Now did I?

How about me? Apologize? For what?

It's not an "apology" if it's forced from someone, Doan. That goes to
your poor upbringing and the assault on your poor helpless young body.

Notice I, the "neverspankedboy" R R R R, did NOT try to force an
apology from you?

> When will you apologize to me about your "MISTAKES"
> on the Hutterites,

No. An honest mistake does not require an apology. I'll make one if I
feel like it. I don't. But being more honest than you I, when I found
the mistake, made a public announcement of it.

And after that YOU continued to badger me about it, and did so without
at the same time acknowledging I had already admitted my mistake
publicly and fully. Who has the face now?

I do, dummy.

> the MacMillan study

I don't accept your interpretation of the data. Hence I am not offering
either a retraction or an apology. Even if I did the former, you have
not right to ask for the latter.

> and the Embry study?

You lost your right to have any reply from me on that. I told you I
would not debate you until you had the study and proved it. You refused
to prove it. And remember, YOURS was the first challenge. I had NO
obligation to respond, and you have EVERY obligation to show honestly
that you had it, and you refused.

You planning on apologizing to me, or just wallowing in your little
childish, "game, set, match?"

You are so immoral, Doan.

> I am not holding my breath!  ;-)

Please do. I'm fond of the color purple.

> Doan

Tell you what. I'll agree I was wrong on some portions of the Mitchell
study if you'll answer my challenge on your claims of neutrality and
your belief in "let the parent make up his own mind," or admit you are
not neutral, and you wish to influence parents to spank more than you
wish parents to not spank.

Deal?

I'd also like an explanation for all those years of letting people like
Fern and Neal slip by without comment, and sometimes support by badging
people that challenged them.

Care to go over the related posts?

How about you admitting there is no possible way for a parent to know
precisely WHERE the line is between abuse and safe "spanking?"

You see, Doan, you are unethical. You are a liar. You are a shame to
your family. YOU may think you are clever, but you are just common, and
dishonest.

Mostly to yourself, I fear.

Now rather than actually answer my challenges, whip around and bring up
some other subject....your constant escape from having to face what you
really are.

Let's see you actually engage me on what I brought up and defend
yourself.

Hell, I have NO trouble at all with you correcting YOUR mistakes
either, and I'll not demand an apology from you (that's tacky, Doan,
just like your little vicious out of bounds threat here...if you ever
see me do such a thing to you...bring up other people, uninvolved
outsiders in your life...you let me know.)

You are cowardly, uncivil, pathetic piece of monkeyshit, Doan. And
you've gotten on here for years doing it, driving everyone away so that
this debate could NOT proceed at all.

Clever? sh.t, just vicious. Selfish. Mean. Small minded, and pathetic.

In other words, you are exactly as I depicted. You won't answer when you

right to make.

You harass, as you did with the issue over the Hutterites after I
repeatedly set you straight on it, pointing out my OWN error publically.

Even if I was a hypocrite, YOU have not answered the charge of being a

That's right, and that is why I did NOT presume about your family. I

understand the interogatory sentence?

A question is a question, not an accusation. I could have been speaking
rhetorically, but hte only way to tell for sure is to ask me. Not

Ask me if I meant to be nasty about your child rearing methods. Go

How can you be sure of that unless you ask? Are you not making an

I'll ask it again, in fact, no accusation intended but simply a
question related to how rude and attacking and accusatory you are being

He lies about being neutral and "let the parent decide for themselves,"

He has spent year after year, pretending to be not supporting either
side, but in fact has never once spoke in opposition to spanking
arguments or babblings up to and including horrible thrashing of
childre. Let a single post pop up that opposes spanking and he's all
over with his phony debate.

My dear, you are as phony as him, regardless of what you declare
yourself to be.

A crock of bullshit is what you actually are. Or you could grow up,
learn to be discriminating and recognize his bias and vicious attacks
on non spankers and endless support for spanking.

I don't have a problem remembering who's who and what's what from da
to day week to week, but I do have a very good memory which aids i
that.  I may be at an unfair advantage given that talent.  I ca
remember the plot and characters of nearly every book I've read i
recent years, as well as the lines from plays from highschool.  One o
those weird things that comes in handy for me but can annoy others.

Actually, that was a serious bit of friendly advice.  Doing Memor
excercises not only improves your short term memory but there is som
evidence that it will improve your recall ability in your waning years
And accourding to a researcher friend of mine may even help lessen th
severity of memory loss in Dementia patients.

What kind of question is that?  You are an adult, not a child.  I trea
adults in the way adults should be treated, and I treat children in ag
appropriate fashion.  Do you and realize that you confirmed my feelin
that your original question was in fact meant as an insult...or are yo

Of course I saw the question marks. Again the context in which you
asked the question lead me to the assumption that you were presuming
that I treat my children poorly.  kane Wrote:

How do you feel about asking questions that force someone to assume
that you assumed something?  And further more what gave you the idea
that it was OK to ask a question that inflammatory?  Unless invited one
should never speak of anothers children...and from what I can recall I
never gave you any inkling of permission to make comment or question

One's family life is intensly personal, and unless asked to make

I have answered this already. The context that you asked that question
was such that it forced me to assume you were being insulting.

This has been sufficiently addressed.  NO, I am not rude attacking or

I was/am bieng rude to you...as you have been rude to me.  Perhaps we
both need to go back to primary school and relearn the "golden rule"
And any parent being asked if they are abusive toward their children
would take offense, and defend themselves.

That is your solution to everything isn't it.  That someone who doesn't
agree with you on every point must be a fake, a puppet.  I am a

Grace based discipline, and Gentle Parenting. And you're right, I need

allowed control over anything not even my own body for 17yrs.
Everything was in turmoil constantly so forgive me if I crave control.
If I were anything less than honest here you would not be comparing me

The attributions, so we may who is saying what, are badly mangled. I
find the free mail program, Thunderbird, does an excellent job of
controlling attributions display properly. It will handle, if your IP
provides the service, an excellent newsreader as well.

I’ll try to sort through your post as best I can, as to who said what

And the problem with written communication, unless people are long time

In a two way conversation if one asks the other to clarify such a reply

some specific thought of yours if you do not attribute it when you
remark later about it. If for nothing else then for accuracy it needs to

Neither do I, beyond the ordinary. I also have a good memory. That does
not mean I remember everything, and especially not fine details that I
might NOT have given the weight to the other did. Propertly attribute
your remarks please. That is NOT and unreasonable request, while yours

It would not do you the least good if I remarked on some past comment of
mine with poor reference to the content of my prior remark. You do NOT
refer to a prior remark clearly enough for me, or anyone, to know what
you are referring to.

You are posting to a Usenet newsgroup (Now delivered by Google...or any

Defensive? I have your family here and threaten them? How? My remarks

You are simply defending yourself against what you took as an insult,

I am not being rude. This is a newsgroup titled
“alt.parenting.spanking.” There is nothing rude about discussing
children, since they are impossible to remove from such a subject. They
are the object of the “spanking” in the title. This is about parenting.
One parents children.

You have been repeatedly rude, almost from the start of this ng. You
have accused me, for instance, of not answering your questions, only to
find that after I had to jostle you famous “memory” that I had indeed
answered them ALL, as asked. Even correctly attributing them in my post.

This is YOU, incorrectly attributed by YOUR forum service. Get it fixed,

You can’t even keep straight whether or not I’ve answered you. You
insult my memory, when your own, that you claim is so special failed you
miserably over the claim I hadn’t replied to your questions. You were
rude then, you are being so NOW.

That hardly equates with any justification to lecture me as you are now
doing. You can’t even apply the newsgroup title properly. Children are
in the subject field of this ng by default.

I WILL ask questions about and discuss children here, yours, mine, or
anyone’s I choose. Your “orders” are refused. Again.

Here’s some of you polite discourse directed at me from prior posts,
after you totally screwed up by NOT properly attributing and thus losing
YOUR own way and falsely accusing me of failure to respond:

“,,,I didn't quote Kane in my prior post because it would have
been more confusing trying to filter through the bs...”

“ ... I assume you are intelligiant enough to figure out which portions of
your extensive butt cover....erm clarification of your prior posts I am
responding to...but I've been wrong before. ...“

You WERE wrong. And yet YOU are accusing me, where I was trying to
direct your attention to correcting your error by the use of direct
quotes of my posts, with an insulting comment that I was just trying to
“cover” my butt.

“Until then get off your hobby horse, and
learn to play with the grown ups who actually discuss CURRENT research,
CURRENT parenting challenges, and CURRENT solutions to their parenting
challenges.  b~ “

I did not start the insulting in this exchange with you in this thread.
You have pushed the boundary of civility constantly.

You began with me by calling my response that exposed Doan for the
harassing vicious little provacatuer he obviously is, “childish.” You
haven’t let up since.

I don’t pretend to be nice, or demand it of others, you phony.

Before you correct ME, clean your own house.  Or we can continue on our
merry way insulting each other – and not going indignant about it, phony.

Sure one can. And no, you do not KNOW that it was meant to be
“inflamatory”[sic].
And stop pretending YOU have not been deliberately insulting since first
posting here and continuously ever since. There are just too many examples.

You cannot logically draw from my question that I meant to be nasty. You
can infer it, but nothing logically proves it. It’s your feeling, not a
fact. That statement, with the “IF” in it does NOT prove that I meant to
be nasty.

No such logical inference can be made. I could have asked you that
question for a number of reasons, none of which was “nasty.”

You made a rude accusatory comment toward me. You have a record of doing
so throughout this thread and this ng when you posted to it in response
to me, and on an occasion toward me when responding to Doan.  I want to
know if you treat your children the same way.

Is my question provoking the very response that I suspected it might,
but hoped it wouldn’t?

Nope. That was YOUR reaction. I was concerned you MIGHT BE. And even IF
I made such an assumption rather than ACCUSE you, I asked for
clarification from you.

No one forces you to assume anything. YOU assume it. You did not even
come back with a question to find out IF I meant to be nasty. You simply
accused me of it.

You joined a newsgroup called, “alt.parenting.spanking.” We aren’t
discussing fetish spanking here. We are discussing parents, spanking,
and by obvious inference, the children that would or would not be spanked.

No it wouldn’t.

No it is not “intensely personal.” I do not preform sexually in public,
but I do and have parented in public. I don’t discuss my sex life
publically, but I do my parenting.

 As for “unless asked; Not if you join a newsgroup that is expressly
about the subject of children. This one is. That means you have given
permission to discuss family life in the context of child rearing.

Full circle, and I will remind you of that with the same response as

question. Because it is YOU get to answer it as you see fit.

You chose to come back and accuse me of being nasty. Which of us is

beccafromlalaland, the name of this newsgroup is

The context is this newsgroup, which subject is “children” “parenting”
and “Discussion about punishment methods for children.” It is NOT
automatically an insult to ask, if someone has been posting a long
string of insults if they treat their children the same way, but I
certainly can see, given your long string of insults why you might take
it as one.

I am relieved to hear that. I had both intent to be nasty and insult
you, and some concern that you might carry this attitude into parenting
situations.

See how easy that was when you stop presuming and answered the question?
You then didn’t even have to ask me, I told you freely, as I would, had
you ASKED.

Yes, and you deserved my implication, beccafromlalaland. And you’ll get

Yup, but they also have choices not to, to consider the poster might
have more than one reason for asking, and intended no harm to your
children. Do you think I intended to harm your children? If not (and
it’s obvious I did not) what’s all your ranting about?

It’s about knowing, I believe, that you got caught up with on your
constant stream of insults and your accusations. Your deliberate
presumptions that I’m lying, and Doan is telling the truth, when in fact
any objective reading of his past posts on this subject from it’s
beginning, that I supplied you by link would have shown you he only
recently found the abstract.

Have you actually tried to get it and found it if it is actually still
available, as he posted from a screen readout? I’ve seen inaccuracies in
those before. AAA, for instance, according to him, told him that they
have always had it available. They told me differently, but he insists
I’m lying.

You swallow what he says, and question what I say. Why is that,
beccafromlalaland? Because you are a sucker? Or his style of slimy
innuendo and clever lies appeals more? Or are you easily patronized?

> kane Wrote:

Hyperbole. No, it is not my “solution to everything.” I have many
solutions to many things, and this one in particular does not follow if
you bothered to look at posts of mine to other “nonspankers.” My
disagreement with them, and you aren’t the only one, indicates I do not
blindly accept them just because they are “non-spankers.” Doan, on the
other hand has accepted and agreed with and defended PEOPLE THAT COME
HERE DEFENDING BEATING OF CHILDREN, not just spanking.

> That someone who doesn't

Nonsense. I don’t even agree with LaVonne on ‘every point.” I hold a
different view than her’s on “punishment,” I believe, and I’ve said so
publically. She hasn’t though done anything that would suggest she a
fake or a puppet. YOU have. So have others, that claimed to be
non-spankers, one going so far as to claim I “drove” them back to
spanking I was so rude.

I fear for the children of someone that shallow and weak...except of
course I know damn well it was a ringer that had no intention of
becoming a “non-spanker” but was here to harass.

I worked with teens in mental health for many years. The first thing I
told them after the three day observation period to determine baseline
behaviors was this: “Yes, it’s not your fault you were beaten, raped,
neglected, abused – or whatever – but it IS your fault if you impose
your reactions to it on ANYONE BUT THE PERP.”

In other words, no excuses. Nor will I accept them. You yelled at my
once in this newsgroup, “grow up.” And I had perfectly good reason to be
debating a question of honesty with Doan, so your admonition was totally
uncalled for.

I think my saying to you now, “Grow up” is right on target.

I’m much more invested in you being a non-spanker than winning any
argument with you. So when you pull this power trip bullshit on me
naturally I’m concerned and ASK if you do this to your kids.

Your honesty is what you think I compare you to Doan about? R R R
R...no, b~ , it’s not your honesty. It’s your tendency to NOT be honest
that did that.

The accusations you made that turned out upon examination to be false
(thanks for the apology, by the way, I may have missed it or forgotten
to acknowledge earlier, but reviewed it today) were what inspired my
comparison.

Along with the kinds of attacks on the Embry Experiment report. You
weren’t simply questioning. You even made up things along the way. And
your refusal to get it, but continue to attack it based on partial
knowledge from my comments were typical of his bs.

He spent a year without it, faking it all the while, picking up bits and
pieces from citations likely, and pretending he had it, even miss
quoting. And if he had it he’d have known about this, which he did
not....he was relying on the partial information in an ABSTRACT which of
course is partial by nature:

There were charts of all 33 of the participants in the study. I knew
perfectly well the status of them, but he didn’t know that the 20
existed. Until I spoke of it recently. IF he had known he’d have said.
13 observed, and 20 non-observed.

He constantly walks into these little places I leave for him to go. And
they prove he’s a liar.
But you can’t, or won’t let yourself see it. You’d rather fuss over some
exchange between us and blow that up to become indignant over.

I have to ask you why you’d prefer to be patronized by him, than
challenged by me?

That’s absurd. That simply reserves to you the right to pick what next
to get indignant about. I might ask you about you husband, or ask if you
used objects to spank, or if you don’t like carnations. I have NO WAY of
knowing ahead of time what you already are sensitive about, or just
might pick out of thin are to use to duck a tough challenge of mine.

June of last year. You’re new. How you doing with learning alternatives?

Now I’m even more surprised at your response to my offerings about the
Embry study. You’ve got just 6 months since you started, July last year,
through January of this one. Yet you aren’t interested in a program that
describes precisely how to teach a child to reduce unwanted behavior?

Or have you learned others in that time?

Well, it’s easy enough to find. You apparently aren’t faking about your
desire not to spank. Nevertheless I find your style here, and your
defense of a proven slimy little liar incongruent to that end. Allowing
him to divert you from such important work as Embry’s isn’t suggestive
of a real interest in learning the methods of non-spanking parenting, in
my mind.

You mistake my sometimes harsh approach....I think of it as demanding
you THINK FOR YOURSELF... for something other than it is. Just a demand.

And yes, I DO know how those that have taken up non-spanking generally
respond. If you search the archives you can find them here. Rare as they
are in this ng.

You have NOT been responding like any non-spankers I’ve run into before.
They are usually eager to explore. They don’t consider a few minutes
reading to be an imposition in something so vital as learning new ways
of parenting that you ask for in your post to the above cited forum.

I am doing what Doan LIES about doing. Asking you to think for yourself.

And I don’t lie about being “neutral,” as he does. I’m honestly and
plainly against spanking and other deliberate attempts to hurt and
humiliate children to teach them.

I disagree, by the way with your definition about abuse and spanking,
and the intent of parents.
“I don't feel spankers are abusive, that they are misguided in their
parenting..”

That reads, if you go on, as an excuse for yourself. You don’t want,
apparently, to think of yourself as having abused your children by
spanking them.

If you hit them to cause them pain, which you did if you were a
“spanker,” then you abused them. It’s not complicated, and it does not
allow for excuses. You did it. Admit. Decide not to do it. And move on.

That is the courageous admission you need to make if you truly do not
want to revert to spanking and humiliation.

Actually DO think for yourself, instead of look for the Doan’s of the
world to “excuse you.”

He’s a slimy lying creep that has haunted this ng from early on. Snide,
nasty, lying and conniving, as he was taught to be.

He can’t read a sentence that he can’t twist and misconstrue. Go ahead,
read his history of posts.

And when you say, “it’s not about you” (Doan and Kane) you are very much
mistaken. It is most certaily about the debate between the Doans and the
Kanes. The spanking advocates and apologists, and those of us that
disagree with pain and humiliation being moral or useful as a way to
raise responsible citizens.

Wallow in Doan's slime, or answer hard challenges. It's up to you.

Well, I'm sure you wish I'd leave, but no, not going to happen soon.
By the way, I don't know much french, but I recognize various old
sayings and such in many languages.

I'm kind of into things foreign. Take Zodiacs. Don't believe in them but
they do provide a laugh once in awhile.

"Success goes to your head and you become arrogant and mean to those
around you. No-one would hesitate slipping a banana peel under your feet
- a pirouette and you're gone! "

"monkey

Personality

Of all the animals of the Vietnamese zodiac, your are the most
intelligent. Your pranks, finesse and craftiness get you out of the most
delicate situations without a scratch. Particularly at ease in public
and at parties with beautiful people, you are charming, surprising and
entertaining with the faces you make, and your irresistible, funny
stories. You can also laugh at yourself with astonishing lucidity. Your
character is that of a "happy pessimist" and you adapt easily to any
context - and not without a certain amount of cunning. Confronted by a
muscle-bound adversary, you use servility and flattery to lead him by
the nose. Your skillfulness in the art of manipulation has no equal and
you easily play the actor to soothe those around you. Crocodile tears
and shameless lies are part of your daily bread. If you are caught, you
have the good grace to recognize the error of your ways and can make
others forgive you. You jump from branch to branch, from problem to
problem, with an incredible degree of fickleness which borders on
childishness. It is difficult to keep you in one place; at the least
sign of boredom, you swing to another tree. Your fault : You want to be
first at any price...

Work

Ambitious, inventive and gifted, you work on all fronts with incredible
speed. You constantly need new projects to undertake and daring
challenges. You are resourceful in business, skillful in negotiations
and insatiable in all that you do. Your good humor easily motivates the
troops. While success comes to you easily, it quickly becomes difficult
for you to manage. Success goes to your head and you become arrogant and
mean to those around you. No-one would hesitate slipping a banana peel
under your feet - a pirouette and you're gone!

Money

You love money because it is an exterior sign of your value. A Monkey
never works "for nothing" - all the more since you spend your money to
create a comfortable, luxurious life for your family. You love to make
them happy by giving them sumptuous gifts and often buy expensive,
impractical presents on the spur of the moment. You don't hoard money
and claim that you will never be lacking in anything. You are lucid and
lucky.

Love

Passion exalts your imagination so you dislike the routine of everyday
life. You idealize your partner but can't bear that they are only human
with faults and manias like everyone else. But you can't live alone. You
are an eternal adolescent, in love with the stars and with a taste for
seduction. You are gifted in seducing and ravaging hearts with no sense
of guilt. Being funny, imaginative and mischievous are your favorite
arms. To seduce you, a person must tell you that you are the best,
surprise you every day, laugh at your jokes and never yawn with boredom.
"

Me, I was was born under the sign of the Pig. (And that has nothing to
do with western views of a quite noble animal in Asian belief systems).
Quite a nice definition of me actally. And that above is not mine.
Wonder why I gave you the name, Monkeyboy?

Except for a few points, this is just about right for me:

"PIG

Personality

Honest and upright, you advance in life like a tranquil bulldozer. You
hate lies, hypocrites and artifice. If you do something bad you feel
terrible and guilty about it for a long time after the fact. For your
family and friends you are generous and helpful. Sometimes you are even
a little bit too generous because you don't know how to say no: people
don't hesitate taking advantage of your good nature. Underneath your
exterior hides a ferocious determination for your inner codes to be
respected. Nobody can impose their will on you unless you decide to let
them. You make your decisions and take responsibility for your failures
in private. You don't blame others for your mistakes. When there is a
conflict, you take cover until the storm has passed. You may be
criticized by others for preferring to run rather than fight but raised
voices, fights and power games revile you. If your back is against the
wall with no escape possible you become a daunting and violent
adversary. Behind your apparent good nature you hide your
hypersensitivity and soul of a gambler. You love to experience all the
pleasures that life has to offer to a maximum. Your sensuality and your
taste for pleasure make you an expert in love - especially physical
love. Your only risk is falling into lustful ways!

Work

You love to work and want to succeed in your professional life but not
at any price. You refuse to compete, to be opportunistic and to make
deals under the table. You want to be recognized for your talent and
competence, and won't resort to political intrigue. So you are not
always a diplomat and prefer leaving a business meeting by slamming the
door rather than approve an unsound project. You will gladly spend more
time on your personal rather than professional life, unless you are your
own boss. In this case, you won't count the hours and will see your
projects through to the end.

Money

The Pig symbolizes material wealth in Vietnam so you rarely lack money.
Your love of pleasure contributes to turning you into a big spender but
you are above all, very generous. You love to have friends for dinner,
give your friends presents and take your family on sumptuous trips. A
cultivated aesthete, you love to invest in beautiful objects and dream
of having a library as wonderful as the one of ancient Alexandria.
Sometimes you just can't pass up a work of art or rare book. Still,
money doesn't seem to matter to you. Even if you were a billionaire, you
would probably continue to drive a beetle!

Love

You are in love with love in all its forms : tender caresses, romantic
gestures and sensuous meals. Although you are faithful in love, you are
very possessive and jealous. To be happy, you need a curious cocktail of
solitary moments coupled with moments of tenderness and wild passion.
You love it when your partner shows their continuing passion and
infinite love for you in public. To seduce you, your partner must say
yes to everything, especially to the pleasures in life which they will
be able to fully partake of in your company!

Yep. But you are now facing what you know is the truth. That's hard, and
courageous. Nothing like Doan's decade long hiding from it.

> Maya Angelou Said, "You did then what you knew how to do and when you
> knew better... you did better!"

There isn't a word in it that suggests you have to make excuses for
yourself. Ms Angelou gave a day-long seminar at my college many years
back. Or I should say, we gave a daylong seminar for her. Most
interesting women.

You know of course how abused she was, and the tragedy that struck her
dumb for part of her childhood, right?

We talked with her in seminar about it before she wrote about it as I
recall.

> There is no sense in beating myself up over what I did, calling myself
> an abuser would only bring me more pain and guilt than I already feel.

Really? Why not do it, have the pain, and be done with it, instead of
try to dodge it? You abused. It's not the end of the world. Everyone has
mistakes they make in life. What comes next is equally or sometimes more
important.

You appear to not be indulging youself in doing to your children what
was done to you. What more can you ask of yourself than that? Don't you
understand the importance of that simple fact?

You have gone someplace your abusers could not go. And not even our
little friend Doan here can go. Or at least so far.

> Instead I choose to Know better, and Do better.  

Seems like that to me. Of course this is a very limited medium so I have
to guess a lot from just your few words, in comparison to the life you
experience outside this place.

Who says? Might it not be exactly where you want to be at this moment?
You are moving forward. Doan is where he was a decade ago. Still hiding.

You have to be kidding me. You expected to come here to be comforted?

You were abused. It was not and is not your fault you were. What you do
now is yours and yours alone, to do about that abuse. You can perpetuate
it on others, or you can end it with you.

So, if this is not the "healthiest way to deal with" your "emotions"
then why do it? I have to ask you: what are you doing here?

"Hitting the nail on the head," as you say, may be what you are looking
for. Possibly you are here seeking something a support group usually
cannot give. They usually offer "shelter," but rarely the hard and
uncompromising truth that seems to be part of healing and overcoming a
problem. They have their place in your schema.

And why would you feel guilt and pain if you are doing what you best
know how to do?

One of the most powerful and effective means of moving through a
challenge in one's life is not to hide from any unpleasantness connected
to it.  Abusers aren't evil horrible weak people, unless they refuse to
face up to it and work to change. You appear to be doing the "work."

Using me as our scapegoat for YOUR guilty feelings is non-productive. It
keeps you from facing what you did, and moving on. And I have no trouble
with you being rude and mean to me. As you've said in an earlier post,
I'm an adult.

I disagree with your assessment about this not being "the healthiest way
to deal with" your "emotions," though.

Why not consider this part of the process. Right along with your support
group? If you aren't ready for this yet, then so be it. But ... and I
say this with regard for your feelings ...

Stop whining. You know you were abusive. It's not new or unusual and it
IS a product of your own life experience. That's the toughest part for
folks sometimes. If you admit you have been abusive, then you have to
face that you were abused. Doan can't do it. He's weak.

I sometimes think it's far more insidious for those that were less
abused. YOU can see you were, and know sooner that it was real and you
didn't deserve it. He, and those like him that were "spanked with love,"
are trapped. And he has the added handicap of being so intelligent. None
can better construct excuses and rationales so well as the more
intelligent.

You've already moved decades past him in getting a handle on this
problem. He probably looks strong to you, but in fact he's in denial and
practicing it by being here all these many years, running the same self
deluding numbers, over and over again. It's darned hard word to maintain
such a high and thick facade. I pity him.

He doesn't question himself like you are doing. He doesn't allow himself
to face the pain. This is his "support group" for his maintainence of
his self delusion that he's alright and his parents were alright.
Neither is true.  By battling me and others he props up his beliefs that
protect him from ever facing that childhood pain. He denies there was any.

YOU are alright. Because you are fighting. He's given up. And was made a
coward by his parents. Bright, intelligent, and using it all to maintain
his protective facade.

You may have to leave, as a step in your work, but you'll be back here,
or somewhere similar, as you take further steps to grow where he cannot.
He can't heal, because he'd have to admit to the abuse he suffered at
his parent's hands.

YOU can, because of a sad, but important advantage.

My guess from a few things you've said is that you were seriously
abused. One thing victims of more extreme abuse have that those with the
more subtle and less accessible and identifiable abuses of "safe
spanking," is that YOU have little to NO doubts about what happened to you.

In a way I feel far more sadness and pity, if that's the right word, for
him than for you. You have the advantage. And apparently more strength.
He was tricked into believing his abuse was "right." You know better.

You are using your capacities and strengths to face it. He's using his
to avoid it and seal himself off from it. "It" being the betrayal of the
pain causing parent.

If that were not so what would he be doing here for all these years? And
still no change?

Becca, I can't predict which way you'll go as far as this ng is
concerned, but obviously you are moving in the direction best for you
and your children. Feel free to contact me privately any time you like.

Don't let yourself be taken in by those you are leaving behind. For all
his slick smarminess and patronizing stroking of you my guess is your
instincts won't let you down. Not if you suffered abuse as a child.

Such folks have a built in sh.t detector that kicks in....just like
yours did when you 'got mad' at me for hitting the nail on the head. You
just identified what you were looking for, I believe and can smell the
stink of the patronizers.

You know perfectly well that's what you were looking for. Someone not
committed to providing "safety" like a support group. Looks like you
found what you wanted.  And your kids are that much safer for your
courage in coming to this much tougher place to be.

Best wishes.

What I found telling was this:

"Children with zero or near-zero baseline rates of entry into the street
were switched to the nonobserved participates, because little if any
experimental control over the child's behavior could be demonstrated as a
result of participation."

It very much sounded like stacking the deck in favor of the results he
wanted.  BTW, the study has nothing to do with spanking your kids for
running into the street!

The effect would be the opposite, dummyboy.

Children with a near zero rate would help keep the rates low. Those
children were, many of them, products of families that had done a
previous experimental study with parents already taught and practicing
the sample parenting principles. They'd have a head start on everyone
else.

Learn to read. Learn to think.

However, at least instead of harassment and your usual lying, you
managed to ask a valid question and present a reasonable challenge.

Good for you.

There's your answer. Go back and read the study and how the children
were picked.

Start your f.cking harassing again, and you get ..

It's called, diddly squat.

Are you this stupid?  DO THE MATH, ignoranus kane0!  Here, let me show
you:

Let say the 13 children were averaging 10 entries per hour before and
1 entry per hour after.  Thus, the rate of entries is reduced to 10%
(13/130).

Are you with me so far?

Now, add in the 20 children with, say 0.4 entries before and 0.3 after.
The before average is now 130 + 20(0.4) or 138/33 =~ 4.2 and the after
avererage is 13 + 20(0.3) or 19/33 =~ .58.  The rate is now only reduced
to 14%!

So, you stand prepared to support the idea of contaminated samples.

You are so easy to bait it brings tears to my eyes.

You seemed completely in love with contamination by removal when a
certain female researcher stripped away the more severe spankers in her
"study."

Baumrind was a laughing stock among attendees at that conference, Doan,
just as you are here.  Imagine. One is doing a study on how children
react, antisocially, to being spanked and REMOVE the group that would
in fact show that it's true they react more antisocially.

But YOU want this particular sample contaminated in YOUR favor.

You are without honor. But then we knew that all along.

The object dummy, was to run and experiment on people that had NO prior
knowledge of the methods in the training package. And NO skills of that
particular kind.

It wasn't a survey to see how many HAD certain skills or not, but to
test if those skills could be taught and applied.

You've got rotten tofu for brains.

> > Learn to read. Learn to think.

Mmmmhhhmmmm...yep. I read your posts and watch you stupidly fall into
traps of your own making.

YOU JUST SUPPORTED CONTAMINATED SAMPLES. And I even TOLD YOU why they
could not use those children. But away you go with your bogus
manipulated formula.

Same old sh.t.

I am still waiting for beccafromlalaland to sneak it to me. ;-)
Can you send her a copy, please?  Otherwise, I have to come up with
another sock, like AFfromdreamland! ;-)

Funny how I was able to point beccafromlalaland to where to go to
get this study.  You, however, said it can only be gotten from Dr. Embry!

This reply to my own message is in the form it is to answer
beccafromlalalands comment and question in a recent post to me:

"I noticed that you only responded to those items that you could ask more
questions...and did not answer any of my questions.

Dodging?

-- beccafromlalaland "

I shall attempt either to answer any unanswered questions or admit that
I do not have an answer. My comments [[ will be in square brackets ]].

>>We should discuss socioeconomic status as a mitigating factor in the use
>>of CP.  And how to address that issue.

> Who is "we?"

[[ I was not asked a question ]]

>>Or is that too current and real for you?

> Are you addressing me, or the group?

[[ becca did not use my name and I'm not the only person here. But I'll
attempt to directly answer assuming, since we went on after this post,
she does mean me in this instance. No it is not to current nor too real,
and I've responded to it by stating so further in the post. It is just
not relevant to what I wish to discuss. ]]

[[ While my answer was whimsical it's obvious that I do not consider it
possible to solve economic problems before addressing the spanking
issue. If we waited for economic answers for the solution to problems
we'd have the cart before the horse. ]]

[[ I continue to address your question, becca. I am not dodging. I am
not an economist, thus can't answer such questions authoritatively. And
they are a diversion from the real issue here. Related by not pivotal. ]]

[[ I continue to answer your original question, the best I can...no
dodgin' here, or do you consider that I am not whatever kind of
professional that would be involved for any question you ask as my
"dodging?" ]]

[[ While I cannot, nor do I wish to spend time on an issue that others
could better address, socioeconomic status, I am inviting you to if you
have something to say. What's "dodging" about that? ]]

> If I'm interested I'll be happy to contribute in whatever way I can.

[[ And I'm still open to more questions on YOUR issue if you wish to ask
them. You did NOT take that invitation. I could call you a "dodger" for
that, but will not since in the normal course of a conversational
exchange, debate or otherwise, people move on from subject to subject,
issue to issue, item to item, as a matter of course. In this group
presently posting only Doan would stoop to such low tactics and ploys. I
can't imagine that you would, purposefully. Why accuse me of dodging
"and did not answer any of my questions," as you put it? That's simply
not true. ]]

Thank you for reading. On to the next post in this series to see if I
failed to answer any questions, let alone "did not answer any."

Isn't it interesting that the more honest an author appears to be,
the more like ourselves we think him.  And the less so, how very
alien he doth appear?                            Kane 2006
