A couple in Finland made the kid run around the sandbox for hours to "lose weight". They later suffocated her. It's not always the act 1/2

2/2 that is important, but what it says about the parent...

All I'm saying is making your 2rd grade child run a half hour to school while weighed down in the rain is a bit child abuse-y

As someone who was spanked regularly with a riding crop through middle school and thinks it did me good

Or the dreaded giant wooden spoon *shudder*. Or that time with my dad's belt that had a gilt metal end

Good thing he didn't make him run half an hour then. Kid took 10 minutes to get there by the dad's account.

Got spanked with wooden hangers, belt, slippers, fly swatter, ruler and my personal favorite - Cricket bat...

Quince cutting. Usually about 1/2" thick, worked very much like a traditional cane. We got to snip our own, and if not fit for purpose Dad

depends on how long the run is.

According to the video, it's about a mile. Not too far, about 10 minutes at that kid's pace.

When I was a kid and I got in trouble, my mum would make me go pick the stick she'd whip me with.

The GIF was made from the video, where the father is describing the events and punishment. Seemed reasonable given that context.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The father can describe all he wants. A child bully is usually acting on something they learned at home, which a manipulative father isn’t1/

Statistically assuming this was America and we're all typically fat?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 4

Is that from the famous book "statistics I pulled out of my ass"

8 years ago | Likes 29 Dislikes 1

I mean... if it's an american it's a safer bet that they are overweight than not.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 10

The most obese countries by percentage puts America at #19 so yeah there's 18 other countries fatter by percentage.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

Oh? I didn't know being overweight automatically made you obese. And your logic is what? "other countries are fatter so we're not that fat"?
