What are the long term effects of hitting a child?

Can lead to motivational issues as an adult since there's no one around to assault you for not doing the dishes.

It depends on the social climate, what kind of retarded ideas are going to be injected into your hypothetical child's head? I see a few people in this thread referring to beatings as abuse, these people have been failed by a civilization in decline, hoodwinked by liberal hippie faggots, into worshiping safety and peace and into hating (with every fiber of their being) action, risk, and "violence"

No child should be punished frivolously; and sadistic parents who hit their children over tiny little infractions or "just because" ought to be proscribed Roman style, that's a fact. But if your 14 year old son who just hit puberty decides to push the boundaries in the household, or worse... steal, lie, cheat, or abuse their parents, then they need to catch five across the teeth the same way a stranger would treat them.
It's a parents job to prepare their children for adulthood, and to prepare their children for living good lives after they (the parents) are dead and unable to help them/guide them.

kids 3-6 should absolutely catch a spanking if it's warranted.
Kids 7-12 should absolutely catch a smack across the mouth if it's warranted
Boys 13-18 should absolutely catch a beat down if their actions warrant it.
Girls 15-18 absolutely deserve a beat down if it's warranted.

If you don't curb their behaviour by 18 then you're not the one who's going to deal with the situation, it'll be the cops, or another man on the street, or whoever.
Imagine your daughter calling you up at 23 crying because her live-in boyfriend beat the crap out of her, and it's because she fucked his friends, called his dick small, and spit in his face. You could have prevented that with a measured judicial response to dumbass behaviour when she was 12, but you didn't, because you're a peacenick hippie.

*edit*
The internet has made kids insufferable and if the zoomer generation isn't a good indicator of what goes wrong when an entire generation of parents buys into the "no excuse for abuse" mentality that has essentially designated most forms of corporal punishment as "child abuse", then maybe you need to binge a few hours of tiktok and get back to me.

you’re a good example of the long term effects of dropping a kid on it’s head too often
 
If you hit your kid regularly then they're not going to be there when you're shitting yourself as an old fart. They'll hate you and give as much of a shit about you as you did them.
 
My parents were the kind to beat us with belts, cords, sticks, anything and for any reason big or small. My dad broke my nose when I was 11. Haven't spoken to them in years.

i think middle ground exists between bludgeoning your child and showing them who's boss every now and then. i think they called it backhand discipline. when they say or do some stupid shit, and continue to do so with direction not to, a reality check can be appropriate every now and then,

Didn't ask.
 
I don't think spanking kids is really necessary. But I don't think spanking does lasting damage compared to sexually or emotionally abusing kids. I was spanked as a child and occasionally thrashed with a book or a stick or other object and the only time that really stands out in my memory was when my dad hit and yelled at me for something my tard elder brother did while he was out of the room, and I'd actually tried to stop my brother doing it, and the reason I remember it was because it was unfair.

The things I do have unpleasant memories of were the emotionally destructive things my parents said or did. My mom was not forgiving or sympathetic, and she played shitty Machiavellian games pitting siblings against each other. My dad was more involved in work than family and I don't think he really understood children, and when he did try to get involved with his kids it was often kind of inappropriate. He once asked me what did I want to do when I grow up, and I was around 8 and I liked reading kids' science books, so I said I wanted to write a book. He laughed and said "Who the hell's gonna wanna read your book?" I still to this day don't know what answer he expected, or if he actually thought a kid of this age was going aspire to a realistic career like being a plumber or an accountant.
 
Short term is just bruising and just shit that can heal. Long term generally involves either alcoholism, needing therapy, and suicidal thoughts. One of my other gook friends used to get his ass beat as a kid. He told me about this one time his dad made him strip naked "kneel down" by outstretching his arms like an airplane. If he lowered his arms, his dad would beat him-

Sometimes it'd be a vacuum pipe, sometimes it'd be a piece of wiring. Really it was all up to what he thought. There was this one day where his dad locked him in a dark bathroom after pouring bleach on the floor which near damn killed him. Surprisingly, it wasn't shit like that which really fucked him up, but the time his dad told him to go up to all his teachers and tell them he was worthless and not coming to school anymore. He did it, but his dad beat the shit out of him and nearly strangled him because he thought he was bullshitting about doing it.

All this to say that beating your kids is bad, but mental and emotional abuse fucks kids up more. All that being said, I'd like to think there are actual times it's warranted.
