I agree with nocharge. Spanking a fourteen year old indicates a lack of control in the family. The parents are desperate for control and are trying anything at that point. The REASON spanking is inappropriate after the age of ten is because your child is now developing SEXUALLY (duh!!) Spanking becomes degrading and humiliating beyond the need for discipline at puberty and a parent of the opposite sex spanking a fourteen year old borders on sexual abuse (come on its creepy!). Another interesting side effect of spanking a teenager is that eventually they might hit you!! My husband was spanked inappropriately like that and he eventually just threw a chair at his dad. There is not a professional advocate for spanking under the sun who would condone spanking a teenager. Parents stop this right now before violence escalates in your home.
is a 14 year old to old to be spanked
