By Jen Eyer
Kerry Novick has a Q & A today in which she discusses whether people should intervene when they witness children being mistreated in public. What do you think?

"Because we don't spank an adult or a co-worker when we are upset with them, we should not do it to a child -- especially with such a little and fragile body." Right, I like that logic. That's why after a tough day of playing I take my child out to the bar and get a pitcher of two.

I feel like spanking a child is a way of teaching a child that when someone does something wrong you should hit them. I see a lot of kids who can't manage anger because that physically violent outlet is how they were taught. Because we don't spank an adult or a co-worker when we are upset with them, we should not do it to a child -- especially with such a little and fragile body. I'll share my other comments on intervention in the other column.

Poll is too vague for me to vote on. The actual story says " All too often I see an angry parent spanking, striking and/or berating a small child..." I do not think spanking a child is "mistreating a child." No do i think a pearent that had to spank a child is "out of control with their kids." Obviously if it goes past that and then i feel somone should step in.
