Unprepared for Parenting (Ezzos, Pearls, Etc.) *Public* Support and information for those affected by the Ezzos, the Pearls, and other punitive and adversarial methods of child-rearing.
A public forum.
Before posting here, please read this sticky and keep guideline 23 in mind:

23. No posts harshly dissecting parenting moments of others since we desire to humbly cultivate a heart attitude of grace and not judgment towards other mamas. We all struggle at times as parents and have much to learn, and GCM's focus is to provide tools and information for each of us to parent more effectively. Posts voicing some frustration regarding choices made by others can be okay, but it needs to be within the overall context of seeking understanding or ideas for better responses in the future.

OH MY! Can you imagine your child SPANKING their doll?

Why do I read these things? They make me want to throw up.

That is as revealing as it is disgusting. And it is truly the definition of disgusting.

Wow, he is really bitter. I don't see how anyone can read that and not think he has serious issues.

DISGUSTING. I hope they both go to prison where they can learn first hand what people REALLY think of child abusers.

That statement is just...NUTS. It doesn't even make me mad. I'm dumbfounded.

It's fundamentally unserious about the most serious possible concerns. It's punditry, ala a political flack touting the party line to rally the base, at the expense of truth, or even a little nuance. It fails utterly to take seriously the humanity of children and parents.
