The First Real-Time Study of Parents Spanking Their Kids
The recordings feature a mother spanking her 3-year-old son 11 times for fighting with his sister, prompting a fit of crying and coughing. Another mom hits her 5-year-old when he won’t clean up his room. One mom slaps her child when he doesn’t cooperate with the bedtime routine.
The data are particularly unsettling because many of the infractions that led a mom to hit involve petty misbehavior, like turning the page in a book before it was time. While listening to his mother read The Tortoise and the Hare, for example, one boy began touching the pages, garnering a slap.
“At 2:03:31, the mother says, ‘No, Justin,’ and continues reading,” according to a transcription describing the incident. “Then at 2:03:34 she smacks him, and says, ‘No, Justin. If you want me to read, quit messing with the pages. Cause you’re moving it while I’m reading.'”

NEW PREMIUM CONTENT - CREEPED OUT BY THE SEP 30 2025 DEBATE
In this episode, I share a challenging experience from a live call with a caller, Bob, who raised philosophical questions about the is-ought dichotomy. I discuss my feelings of panic and discomfort as Bob's conflicting views on reality provoked a manipulative dialogue that questioned the integrity of our conversation. I analyze the emotional complexities of engaging with radical skepticism and emphasize the importance of a shared understanding in debates. This reflection invites listeners to consider the motivations behind their discussions and the ethical dimensions of pursuing objective truth.
The debate, "What on EARTH Is Real?" is at https://fdrpodcasts.com/6118/what-on-earth-is-real-twitterx-space
