untitled (discipline)

I will be 28 this year. The generation after ME, they grew up without discipline. Look at them. They are fearless and reckless as fuck. I dont give a damn what THOSE people say but i will discipline anything I pushed out my vagina. -_- Like I told Officer Rose (cool guy) when he came to my house, "We are going to do it now so you don't have to deal with it later---and blame ME."

       I guess I have a clearer understanding of why things are the way they are. Back in the late 80s early 90s there was a severe uptick in child physical and sexual abuse due to new street drugs and things of that nature. I was one of those children. CPS helped ME. Law were changed and enacted that were essentially supposed to protect the children. The intent was good (i guess) but the government slowly began to strip parents of their right to adequately discipline their offspring without the fear of legal kidnapping or judicial prosecution.

       I have had to deal with child protective services on two occasions in my life with regards to the care and discipline of my firstborn, Khalil. 

1. The first time I encountered anyone regarding the discipline of my child, i was in a shelter. It was crazy. This little girl came in to my dorm room crying and told me that Khalil had pulled his 4 year old penis out and told her to suck it. I whipped his ass. Someone called the police. The officer basically told me that I to use extreme restraint when it comes to physical discipline these days and to choose wisely regarding WHY I hit him. Had Khalil's father not came and retrieved him immediately, the officer would have been forced to report me to CPS. A very messed up position for the officer because he agreed with me.
2. Khalil was pretty much raised by his fathers family until he was almost five. My life was too unstable to parent properly so I allowed his great-grandmother to do my job. I fucked up. Anyhow, when i moved in to my first place with him he went to his grandma's house on thw weekends as well as spring and summer break. During one of his spring break visits one of his adult male cousins tried him in a perverse manner. I wasn't even informed by my son's family. He called my home and Wally just so happen to be there. He told him and Wally called me at work. As soon as I got off the phone with Wally. A CPS worker was calling me. I immediately got defensive and hung up on her. After talking to my son we prosecuted his cousin and that was that.
3. I wrote about my second encounter here:  http://hazysin.blogspot.com/2010/04/like-3-weeks-agothis-is-what-ive-been.html

I understand why CPS is necessary but I also know why they are so disdained. I have no qualms about calling and reporting a parent if I see ongoing abuse of a child. That is my responsibility as an adult. I now know that if someone calls them on me, it isn't a big issue because im not doing anything wrong. They help more than they hate--true story. If you are not doing anything wrong you have nothing to feel. If you aren't doing anything to discipline your child---you WILL fear that child one day.
