CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

This seems like a lack of discipline to me. Even if the child acts that way with the father that doesn't mean he will act that way with his mother if she doesn't allow him to. When I was younger I was a nanny and the kids would run riot with their mother and when I first got there they tried that with me too but they soon found out that that was not an acceptable behavior around me and they soon straightened up. Even if this young boy is learning bad things from his father the mother still needs to discipline him accordingly and make it known that it is not an acceptable behavior when he is around his mother.Anwar said:

That all depends. If the husband is mentally/emotionally/or physically abusive then yes, the child could be just copying the behavior and no amount of discipline will help. Counselling would be needed for all involved. So, yes it is entirely possible that this could happen, but I don't know this situation, so I can't say that's the case here. Just know that it is very possible for a child to have emotional issues from abuse.

Ministry is about people not structures.
I just don't allow my son to say no to me. If he does he is reprimanded first and given a chance to change his answer, and if it persists he is sent to his room. If is is very persistant he gets a smack. But I find if I am inconsistant with this it easily creeps in again.
