Ex NBA player Ben Gordon arrested for hitting his son/ arrested 2nd time/ arrested 3rd time /arrested 4th time

?Disagree with this generalization.
Parents teach children the lesson of repercussions for actions by administering punishment. Whether that punishment is a timeout, withholding privileges,,verbal or physical punishment. A correction.
Children from loving parents and households are aware of family guidelines and rules, and when they violate them there is some sort of penalty to reinforce them.
In the real world, as adults, they will live and work in a society where they have to follow rules and laws or face repercussions.

*I don't lump in all forms of physical punishment with abuse.

Do you punish your wife? Do you punish your parents, brothers, sisters, cousins? How about your neighbors and coworkers?

Read up the literature on child-rearing breh, there are PLENTY of ways to teach a child without punishment. I'm not going to get into a long argument with someone who isn't even aware of it, but do your research and learn the alternatives.

But that's all irrelevant to the conversation. Maybe you're a pro-punishment guy and think that's the only way to learn how to be a human being, but even if you want to believe that, beating the kid doesn't have to be a part of it. The VAST majority of actual experts in the fields agree on this, but "tradition" is hard to break:

Spanking has long been used as a disciplinary tactic for children, but does it really work? Experts say there are better ways.

You take every disagreement personally, for some reason.

My siblings and friends are college educators and social workers,,so it's not a matter of you posting multiple links to show me research that I've likely heard about, attended seminars, and read from my people. Some of it is above my level of comprehension, obviously, but I've been exposed to a lot of it over the years.
"You disagree because you don't have an MSW" is a juelz, Rhakim.

I'm expressing my personal opinion. which was disagreeing with your statement. I think I remember you mentioning that you worked with the incarcerated before.
What is the figure for the % of inmates who grew up without a father present in the household? How many of them could have benefited from the male parent being in the household to bolster and enforce family rules and discipline? To give words of encouragement when necessary and to dole out punishment/correction when necessary.

......if he's closed fist punching a 10 year old in the face, it should be easy to say its a bad thing right? even if you're pro-spanking/indifferent/etc this one kinda seems like a straightforward "nah"

 

[RhodyRum]

Why don’t you bozo ass nikkas address me directly instead of the passive clown shyt you on… So you going to believe 3rd fukkin hand information from the daily news and NY Post? Where do you think they got their info from?

Now not going into too much but I was literally there… Mans was upset with his son because he couldn’t lift the bag.. Made him do push ups at the fukkin ticket counter and the ticket agents didn’t like what he was making his son do and they told him.. “Ben literally told those chics shut the fukk up and mind your business” verbatim… They end up calling the cops.. ticket agents told the cops that he hit his son with a closed fist which wasn’t true at all..

@RhodyRum what type of proof you want me to post? Footage from the incident? The DA affidavit? Police report? You fukkin clown

Nikka I'm right here fakkit bıtch.

How you mad because you're telling and getting called on it?

And yes, that's how shıt works you yeast infected c*nt. You make a claim, give no proof of your claim, and expect rational people to just believe you? This ain't no gossip circle populated by bıtches, either provide proof or stfu. Fukk all your hearsay and stupid shıt. If I'm wrong I'm man enough to take my L and apologize, fakkit. It's been 24 hours since this story dropped and the only person talking about push-ups is you. Like I'm supposed to believe you over an actual article published about the incident with your "Oh but but but I was there" ass nonsense.

Dumb ass nikka feenin' so hard for attention you lash out like a woman to someone asking for proof. The fatherless tendencies of posters like you are sickening as fukk.

I’d slap the living shyt out ya faggit ass you fukkin bozo you don’t know me from a can of paint… I can easily post the airport check point footage and other shyt related to Ben Gordon’s arrest but because of the nature of my job I can’t do that because it’s an active investigation…. You fukkin clown holla at me wherever? I’m in east Flatbush come over hear and see me bytch nikka..

And if you even paying attention Gordon’s sons mother admitted Gordon didn’t hit her son and she wasn’t even there which is consistent with what I said initially… he made the kid do push-ups, airline workers ain’t like it and Gordon told them stfu just like I’m telling you stfu..

TMZ usually has/gets access to information first

Ben Gordon Allegedly Punched 10-Year-Old Son In Face For Dropping Book

Ben Gordon allegedly punched his son in the face multiple times at an NYC airport after the 10-year-old boy dropped a book. BG was hit with 9 charges, including assault and resisting arrest.

www.tmz.com

If /when footage emerges, certain that they will be the ones to confirm or refute the allegations.

Still can't post proof. Just chirpin' chirpin'.

How you remedial nikkas get this pressed over this online shıt I'll never understand

"Duh, duh... Meet up to scrap... Der, der." Do you even hear yourself?

Here you go, BigHoneyTıts. You have my permission to have the final word on our little online rendezvous over here, son. Using you for amusement has run its course. Maybe now you can do something better with you time like go to Kings Plaza or kill yourself or whatever the fukk. I'm done here

Mental health issues aside for Ben Gordon, I can’t wait until we break the generational curse of thinking that putting hands on children is an acceptable form of discipline.

U don’t believe in whoopings? I don’t agree with these nikkas who say beat ur child and shyt leaving marks, But a butt spanking with a belt with 2-3 hits does more good than bad. IMO

I don’t think using a belt/cane is necessary. Light hand spankings for a toddler/kid is one thing but a lot of parents cross the line and hit their kids like they’re hitting an adult. I went to school with people that used to get with closed fists at home and none of them were well behaved so it clearly wasn’t working.
