- My father wouldn't use a bare hand because, he said, "if you hit too hard,
- you can bruise something or break a bone."

- Instead, he used a leather belt.

- child, without the possibility of causing damage that would get CPS to haul
- the kids away.
-
- I suggest that if you are wishing to cause pain to your children, you look
- into this possibility, too. After all, why would you want to be hauled away
- by CPS for child abuse after having to take your kid into the emergency
- room due to hitting him too hard?

- Yes, but a belt will leave marks - something CPS will also lock you
- away for. And in some areas, using a belt on a child is illegal - it
- is defined as child abuse, no matter WHAT the situation.
