As we work in human services we might often struggle with what is actual child maltreatment and what does not rise to that level. It is commonly accepted that violence has a normal place in American culture both in the world around us (television, movies, games, and social media), and in our own homes. Who hasn’t yelled at a loved one, pushed a sibling as a child, or maybe even used spanking as discipline?
For example, consider the case of Christine. She recalls being six or seven and having her father call her in from playing to eat dinner. One day, she did not want to stop playing so she ran away from him. Her father told her if she did that again, she would get the back of his hand. She felt that her father was a kind and mild-tempered man who never really did ‘give her the back of his hand’, but the threat was enough to make her not repeat the behavior. She admits that she often misbehaved, but this interaction just taught her to be sneakier about it. The point is that in 1950s America, her father was very much a representative of his times when corporal punishment was a standard way to discipline children.
