If I caught one of my kids breaking into and stealing something, I'll guarandamtee you they'd have stripes or bruises on their legs from a belt.

My daughter is 16 and my son is 14 and I have "belt" whipped them about twice each in their life. Neither time was very hard but I wanted to leave an impression in their mind about the "end game" discipline in this house. They haven't been hand spanked more than a couple times either. No need for it, they're great kids, but if they went flat over the edge and started stealing, you can bet they'd get their butts worn out and I mean flat worn out.

I don't know the whole story and neither do any of you but this woman beat her kids butt for stealing, I say job well done momma unless a PATTERN of abuse is proven.

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
