Pro spankers be like: I sit down and talk to my child before I hit them. Then after I hit them, I hug them and tell them I love them. News Flash! This is called “trauma bonding.” Same behaviors displayed by domestic violence perps in adult relationships.

Children are not born with adult cognition, the ability to reason, comprehend and synthesize. So why would you hit them as a pedagogical approach to learning? Can YOU effectively take in new information and learn when your are afraid or in pain? That’s not how the brain works.

Was at the AAAM conference, a Black event, today in Nashville. A white male exhibitor, whose company makes exhibit mannequins, was giving out these thumbtacks as “swag.” Deeply triggering to me as someone who researches lynchings where fingers and genitals were cut and sold.

Reading about an enslaved 14- year-old girl named Judah who in 1834 in PG County, MD, poisoned her master's two sons. They died. During that confession, she also disclosed that two years earlier, at age 12, she burned down her master's house and killed his infant daughter.

Hitting a child is always humiliating. I don’t care how adults justify this violence. You rob a child of their autonomy. They can’t defend themselves. On top top of that, they're required to repress anger while showing gratitude & respect in return. What an unholy emotional mix.
