To comment, make a suggestion or just ask a question, email NeverHitAChild. Murray A. Straus Hit ting is wrong . Hitting is a violent thing to do.
Violence is a thing one person does to make another person hurt .
We want to treat children in ways that do not hurt or harm them. We want to be kind and gentle, not harsh . We want to be tender , merciful and compassionate . There is no situation that changes hitting from a wrong thing into a right thing. There is no excuse that magically makes hurting children kind or merciful.
