Pui Wong, head of the Lower East Side Family Union--a counseling service for Chinese families--explains that the traditional Chinese attitude is that a child will be "no good if he's not thumped," and that one has an inalienable right to discipline one's children in this way.
位於唐人街，專為輔導華人家庭問題而設的「下東區家庭群益會」會長黃沛瑛指出，以往中國人觀念，「不打不成器」，打罵孩子是天經地義的事情；但在美國，這卻是兒童虐待，也違反法律。
