Family rights: Why to shun pro-spanking family members

Many people in the children's rights movement support immediate intervention for issues within the family such as child abuse. I support a legal ban on all punitive parenting. However, a legal ban on all punitive parenting is not likely to happen any time soon. Family rights holds that the family takes care of child abuse issues within the family first, with the state stepping in and separating families when all else fails.

The "reasonable chastisement" defense allows for parents to use "reasonable" force in parenting, and exists in all 50 states. Therefore, the only remedy for a child victim of punitive parenting is moral shunning. See 1 Corinthians 5:11 KJV:

But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 

The Greek root word translated "covetous" here is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and reders to entitlement, meaning here parental entitlement. Parental entitlement is defined as, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Deadly parental entitlement is when wants coming from parents or other adults are imposed on children. Once that imposed want leads to offense in a child, it constitutes child abuse, in which case whole families should turn on the pro-spanking parents in their families, and shun them from all existence. Child abuse is further defined in Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards a child. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby holding your child hostage for things that they did wrong. Paul here was liftig up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Righteous judgment is based on the presumption of innocence in other family members, beyond a reasonable doubt, as well as the presumption of others, beyond a reasonable doubt, in greater society. Punitive parenting is actually a Hell-able offense, and one that can be judged. Family dynamics, at the lowest level, involve righteous judgment of some sort. It is therefore good to judge a punitive parent in the family goodbye, consigning them to their Hell-place. Shunning pro-spanking parents, meaning cutting off all family ties with them, helps them come to terms with the fact that they need help. Once everyone keeps shunning these depraved and entitled bastards, they will surrender and seek help. The child protection system should also be intact to catch these entitled parents, and once the system catches the issue, they should serve their sentence. However, the system should only use coercive measures such as family separation as a last resort, when all other options - such as family mediation and home monitoring - fail.

I myself have judged several members of my family as having parental entitlement, usually due to entitled pro-spanking views. They don't deserve to be named. I presume innocence in adults, beyond a reasonable doubt, and presume them not to be adults in the identified sense. But, when you tout those pro-spanking views to me, you are good as gone. I then publish my findings as a righteous judge so that others can judge accordingly

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be forever cast into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
