Kentucky woman allows daughter to wear new black Balances to school, then smacks her after she swings at her: ‘Gentle parenting does not work’

Many people have a list of do’s and don’ts when it comes to parenting, but for TikTok user @__itsautumn__, from Kentucky, none of that seems to matter. Just a day ago, Autumn uploaded a video to her account that has sparked a lot of debate about parenting, especially around the idea of adopting a gentle parenting style versus not adopting one. 

While many in the comments section of @__itsautumn__’s post believe that gentle parenting isn’t practical, others have taken a strong stance in favor of it, arguing that it’s the only way to raise a child. So, what really started all this debate? Well, Autumn shared a video in which she said she had to spank her kid because she refused to wear a pair of shoes she very persistently wanted to put on, and then swung at her mother. Some say the kid deserved the whoop, others say she didn’t, so which side are you on? Don’t worry, I won’t judge.
