text: do you think people should beat there kids and why?   no, people should not beat their kids.  no one should hit anyone.  hittiing kids just teaches them that it is ok to try to get your  own way by using violence and that it is ok for a big person to hit a small person.  hitting a child is assault and anyone who does it should be charged and convicted and go to jail to be hit everyday by someone much bigger than them.
