We at MDC, in accordance with our User Agreement, can not host threads to debate when it might be okay to hit a child, in self defense or otherwise. Sometimes at MDC the initial question could be valid, but when one side of the answer will always be against MDC policy to host we must refrain from continuing the discussion.

From our User Agreement:

Mothering.com is the website of natural family living and advocates natural solutions to parenting challenges. We host discussion of nighttime parenting, loving discipline, gentle weaning, natural birth, homebirth, successful breastfeeding, alternative and complementary home remedies, informed consent and many other topics from a natural point of view. We are not interested, however, in hosting discussions on the merits of crying it out, harsh sleep training, physical punishment, formula feeding, elective cesarean section, routine infant medical circumcision, or mandatory vaccinations.
Mahalo for your understanding.
