\\corporal punishment, parents, sociopathy
We, as a family protection service agency, are intensely compelled to investigate the psychological state of parents and caregivers who, allegedly in order to instill discipline in their beneficiaries, inflict upon them bodily pain. We have decided to examine the interpersonal relations of families in which corporal punishment is applied upon children who are deemed rebellious, indecent, insolent, or delinquent by their parents or guardians and to compare them to families in which corporal punishment is not applied.
What is corporal punishment?
For the purpose of this investigation, corporal punishment is defined as any act upon the body of a child that is intended to compel him/her to desist from a behavior deemed wrong, indecent, insolent, delinquent, or contrary to established home rules. Striking, spanking, punching, strangling, hitting with an object, and submerging in water are some forms of corporal punishment.
Causes
Parents who impose upon their offspring or guardians upon their wards a system of cruel punishment in the name of 'discipline' by inflicting intense physical and psychological pain upon their children by means of corporal punishment exhibit evident signs of being personally afflicted with the most dangerous specie of mental disorder, one that can only be called 'parental detachment disorder' whereby parents and caregivers become emotionally detached from the needs of their children and 'buenei' and therefore proceed to abuse, or worse, neglect them.Category:Terran psychiatry
