This is very true, with a child you never know what will work on a particular day. I have met a person only yesterday who told me that his father used to cane him thrice a day on regular basis and his mother threatened him like 'let your father come' and he waited for his father to come back home. He told me he never imagined to runaway from his home despite all the punishment he got. Imagine the scene in a country where a child can report such matters to inspectors of child welfare with very sever punishment for such parents.

This may be also because in those countries, there are too many divorces and every child has to live with one or the other step parent. So govt. there needs to protect the child more than ours as here all children are with real parents.

In UK last year an Indian couple was forced to take divorce just because their 5-6 years told to his teacher that his father was a drunkard. His mother one day said it jokingly which the innocent boy repeated in his school next day. The wife is back in India, father in UK and the boy was in social care, later sent to his family in India.

Punshiment by parents and teachers is very common in India. I read that one teacher broken wrist bone on student because he did not complete home work.
