dear friends before giving funda, tell me "do u have a kid?" and that too a nasty one. now a days parents dont hurt kids, rather kids make the parents cry. I wish all of u who are giving funda here are blessed with a really nasty kid. there is lot of difference between abusing and punishing. Parents can not go to court to get there kids punished for his/her wrong doings. they have to do it then and there. if rewards can be there, then punishment has also to be there. otherwise y do v have courts. all wrong doers should also be treated with love and never punished. in toto, its up to parents to punish the kid when they feel they need to but they should also be made aware that abusing the kid is criminal act.
