CHAPTER ONE

THE MONSTERS WE CREATE

Your children are getting on your nerves, acting out in public, showing bold and verbally colorful displays of disrespect toward you and other adults. When a parent decides to discipline their children at home or in public, the law calls your way of discipline abusive and criminal, and then the children, in all their selfish wisdom and inconsiderate understanding, play you like a fiddle because they acknowledge the fact that, if you, THE PARENT, don’t allow them to be who they are, all they have to do is cry wolf to the police and you are going to jail. I read a quote one day while researching on the internet and it states as follows, From the late 1400s up until 1861, beatings or discipline was acceptable.

Now, all of sudden, its inhumane and unnecessary. As a parent of six children, I find it shocking that the same laws that made it possible to beat a slave into assimilation are the same laws that condemn a parent from correcting their own children with a necessary use of force. Double standards have created double the problems in our communities when all it would have taken was a good ole fashion ass whipping to set little Jerome straight the first time he acted out.

When was the most recent time you heard someone use the term, By the people, for the people.? When did it ever mean anything? Truthfully, it never meant anything! Because, just like in today’s world, people just say whatever comes to their mind and sounds good, even if it has no direct meaning or immediate solution to an existing problem in other people’s lives.

Some people just talk to hear themselves talk or just to be seen as having said something on a public issue because, honestly, not one of them were concerned about whether you ate last night, or how or where you slept last night while you’re sacrificing your own plate just so your disrespectful child can get enough nutrition to go to bed full and wake up to curse you out the next morning. So, why are we still waiting for answers that we already have, especially when it comes to what is going on inside our own homes from people who just want to talk about the problem?

PARENTS the time has come for you to take a stand and reclaim the authority over your home! I implore you as the Parent, if your sons or daughters violate your authority, by all means, you need to beat their ass! Find the biggest stick you can carry and knock some sense into him/ her and if they get up and try to hurt you, defend yourself because there is no God in the heart of a child who will strike their Mother or Father. In defending yourself, remember, sometimes the only way to control the kingdom was through great sacrifice, physical and mental.

It is the time that we as PARENTS take it back to the old ways. We need to go back in time when it took a VILLAGE and COMMUNITY to raise the next generation. In this new generation, parents and others in the community are afraid to
