What do
you consider child abuse? I consider child abuse any emotional, physical,
or psychological trauma experienced by the child that is brought on by the
parent. I believe if the parent intended reason isn’t to teach the child right
from wrong then it is child abuse.

Do you
think spanking is child abuse? Do
you think spanking should be allowed? I do not believe it is child abuse
but it can be and can lead to it. I think spanking a child for deviant behavior
is ok but spanking them for your own satisfaction is not ok and is child abuse.
I think spanking a child should be allowed only as a reinforcement for right and
wrong. When I was little I got spanked for doing something bad and that taught
me not to do that certain thing again. I think a spanking teaches children
boundaries and that is a lesson that they can take with them into adulthood and
pass down to their own children.
3.
When
should punishment become a public concern? I think that society should only
be concerned if domestic violence is involved. If the child does not have
bruises, is not getting beat regularly, is not experiencing emotional torture,
watching parents constantly fight then society has no right to stick their nose
in people’s households. I think spankings in public are ok as long as they are
not brutal and harmful to child. Children tend to do things in public because
they feel they can get away with things when other people are around. I think
spanking will teach them that boundaries need to be set and they cannot just
act out anywhere and as they please. I do believe talking to them and taking
things away works just as well too but if not then spankings can be a great
addition. I don’t believe parents should get scrutinized for spanking their
child as long as they are not punching them upside the head which is very
awful.
4. What is an acceptable form of public
punishment? I think your personal belongings are ok such as your hand.
5.
What is
an unacceptable form of public punishment? I think anything besides punching
and beating your child with an object. I seen parents hit their children with shoes;
it was very scary and crazy. I think you should leave the belts at home.

Oklahoma Child Pornography Law:
Child pornography is not
only an Oklahoma sex offense, but a Federal sex crime. Punishments for
producing, distributing, downloading, and possessing child pornography are
swift and severe. A child pornography conviction in Oklahoma can result in a
sentence of up to 20 years in a state or Federal prison and a maximum fine of
$25,000. Furthermore, Oklahoma law stipulates those convicted of child
pornography must serve at least 85% of their prison term before becoming
eligible for parole. After release from prison, any person convicted of child
pornography must register as an Oklahoma Sex Offender.

Oklahoma “Sexting” Law: “Sexting” is not a legal term; rather,
it is a term to signify an Oklahoma sex crime committed using cell phones,
PDAs, or other mobile devices. Common criminal charges associated with sexting
include: Distribution of child pornography, Possession
of child pornography, Indecent, or lewd proposals to a minor, Solicitation of a
minor. Each of these crimes involving a
minor mandates lifetime registration as an Oklahoma Sex Offender upon
conviction. One unique aspect of sexting crimes is that a minor under 18 can be
considered both the victim and the perpetrator of distribution of
8.
Child pornography if he or she sends nude,
semi-nude, or sexually explicit photographs of himself or herself. Those who
receive the sexting images can be charged with possession of child pornography;
if they send the images on to someone else, they can also be charged with
distribution of child pornography, even if the message did not originate with
them. Public service announcements geared toward teens highlight the personal
ramifications and tarnished reputation associated with sexting. However, the
legal consequences are much more serious. Being convicted of a state or federal
sex crime follows one for a lifetime, even after the initial prison sentence is
complete. To help avoid unnecessary consequences, find a criminal defense
attorney specializing in sex crime defense.

ARTICLE:
A man name Phillip Hudson,
Jr. (24) is charged with three counts of child abuse in Tulsa County District Court.
Hudson was arrested on an accusation that he used a stun gun to discipline the 5-year
old he was babysitting. The incident was reported to the police by the child’s
teacher after he complained of pain in his shoulder and arm. Hudson also hit the 5-year old with a board
on his shoulder and elbow. The little boy said Hudson hit him because he refused
to do his homework. After speaking to social workers, he was examined by the
medical examiners and the burn marks were visible on the boy’s body. Hudson is
said to have been a neighbor and ex-boyfriend of the boy’s mother. Hudson reasoning for using the stun gun instead
of spanking the boy was to not leave any bruises. The stun gun left visible
burn marks on the little boy’s skin. Hudson’s bail is set to $300,000.
Reading this article versus the other articles for all the other blogs
was different. Reading about a man was thinking it was ok to stun gun a child
was very difficult. I think that man is very sick and that this country and
world needs to take child victimization more serious because it does happen. Reading
and hearing about children getting abused does cause emotional arousal in
anyone.

Song: Insane by Eminem
Eminem continues his family tales on "Insane", where he imagines
himself as a victim of child molestation. For Eminem, the goal of
"Insane" was to make song that would disgust the listeners and
"make them puke", adding that he came up with this idea after thinking
of the song's first line ("I was born with a dick in my brain/Yeah, fucked
in the head.
