12year-old Girl punished by her Mother
Despite all efforts to ban educational or domestic corporal punishments they still do exist. Especially in child education
this has become an ardently discussed matter. I will not participate in the discussion if this old traditional treatment
will be for the benefit of children or if it will cause more damage. Cases and effects may well be different and there have
been so many discussions about pros and cons, either quite simple or highbrowed psychological that I do not want to add
my humble opinion.
In third world countries or families of lower social status there is a greater tendency towards corporal punishment. We also know
about judicial sentences and corporal punishment for children at schools. More and more these practices have become assigned
to be cruel and every report of any event like this will outrage us. Yet there is more violence within families about which
we never get to know. This includes beating children for educational purpose by parents who experienced it themselves from
their own parents or who are not capable of conducting children on the right way by arguments.
Children start using the internet at very young age and are more familiar with it than their parents. It is temptation and
addiction at the same time. Especially participation in social networks is very popular. Children and youngsters are quite
unsuspecting about dangers and longtime memory of the web and frankly post intimate informations and pictures. In this case
a 12-year-old girl had posted photos at Facebook showing her half naked. As her mother became aware of it, she was beatimg her
up very severely with a belt. The punishment is increased by her siblings witnessing and by filming it and publishing it on
Facebook too. There may certainly be many other domestic punishments like this, but it is very rare to watch them in public
media. The widespread use of smartphones and their option to take videos at every occasion may perhaps provide us with more
in the future. But I wonder how these works find their way into publishing despite certain restrictions and rules.
Though I have stated at several places of my homepage that I do not approve child abuse, beating of children or racism, some stupid
german readers distorted and clipped my reports accusing me of exactly that tendency which I always denied since the start-up of
this homepage (regard original statement in the black frame which I posted in 2005 at the "Reports" site where it is still to be found).
Because of this there are no longer any german translations on my page except in this original statement.
I show you the video without any comment or judgement as it was posted for public viewing at Facebook where it has been shared
and commented many times:

Punishments like these are not confined to blacks, though there may be a higher tendency towards corporal violence. I just report
about this video because the subject of this page is spanking of ebonies. Long before a similar video was published at Youtube
where a white father is belting his teenage daughter. The video is no longer available at Youtube because of violatng their rules.
It is of no good quality, but if you are interested you may click on this
Link to watch it from my webspace.
Addendum (Dec. 2014)
Because of certain misunderstandings and malicious efforts to accuse me of glorifying corporal punishments of children I give you this
additional information. Originally the video was published for public viewing at Youtube where it had been allowed to share
and to embed at other places. It was evident that this invitation led to further spreading e.g. at facebook where I found it
and gave you notice with this report. Now the video has been flagged at Youtube because of violating their rules. Instead of it
(Title: 12 year old gets Wooping For posting Self Nudes on Facebook!) you find this
Statement Video with plenty of comments. I cannot prove if it is the
the uploader of the original video who made this statement.
