Is it right for a father to spank a teenage daughter?

Answer 1

Physical discipline, such as spanking, is a controversial topic in parenting. Research shows that physical discipline can have negative effects on a child's mental health and behavior, including increased aggression and lower self-esteem. It is important for parents to use positive discipline strategies, such as setting clear expectations, providing consequences, and offering guidance and support. It is recommended to seek alternative methods of discipline that are respectful and effective in promoting positive behavior in teenagers.

Answer 2

Spanking is legal but bare bottom on a 14yo is inappropriate and crossing the line. I assume you want to teach your child right from wrong and not humiliate her. By this age they definitely have a personal space that should be respected and especially naked. They are not little children anymore. I can't find anything about a specific law being against it and it also might differ depending on where you live but that does not mean a judge wont find it wrong.

Answer 3

The laws on spanking vary from state to state, but at any point you are disrobing a teenager, you are crossing some decency boundaries, even when they are your own child. They are at an age that their body privacy should be respected. By their teen years, most parents have found other ways to discipline their children than spanking.

Answer 4

Violence is not the answer. Beatings like this are child abuse.

Answer 5

If you want child abuse charges, you could. But you'll gain much more from talking and communicating.
