In America, the use of violence as a method of discipline is condoned both culturally and legally. Our collective voice will be loud enough to speak up for children in order to end its practice.
Spanking is a Rampant Problem that Affects Most Children.
• 30% of American parents begin spanking before the child’s first birthday
• 50% of all toddlers are spanked 3X a week or more
• Over 90% of all toddlers are spanked
We also know that spanking is a gateway to more serious child abuse.
• Over 88 million Americans report being physically abused as children
• Parents who believe in spanking are 4-9X more likely to abuse their children
• Most physical child abuse begins with physical punishment
Spanking is linked to:
• DOMESTIC VIOLENCE into adulthood
• Increased AGGRESSION
• Mental health problems into adulthood
• Adolescent drug and alcohol abuse
• Adolescent Suicide
• Emotional and physical ABUSE
As a collective voice, we are calling for a NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN to end spanking and promote peaceful parenting.
Ending spanking will bring families closer together!
