"The Slap's" Zachary Quinto: Not Okay To Discipline Others' Kids | TODAY
children should be raised in a way that makes scenarios like this never needed
True words have never been spoken.
***** Yes Chris. Yes they have.
Kevin Nivek also do you want to hear what I wish happen in this show or how it ended.
***** Sure
Kevin Nivek do you remember Richie the teenage boy who video tape the whole thing and they were asking him to protest as a witness but he was not comfortable or just not sure or was just under a lot of preasure because he may have not have want to become a witness or get involved do you remember that?
The Templars say if the child is assaulting other children arrest the parents and put them in jail. Case closed.
In the show, the kid is being violent and lashing out-he kicks the adult who slaps him. He didn’t “deserve” to be slapped, but there should be some leniency for the man. Instead, they jump to conclusions and assume that’s just the way he is and he must hit his wife and kids. That’s a despicable reaction!
Yeah, I do think there's a fine line there, but this is very controversial. I mean, physically disciplining children isn't as black & white as people like to say it is.
That being said, when you consider the kid could've hurt the other kids by swinging that big bat around, and then kicking the guy telling him to stop, I do think there needs to be punishment there, and I can't remember exactly how the series ended, but IMO, the parents of that child deserved punishment, too. Their child is their responsibility, and if other kids had gotten hurt, that would've been bad.
I didn't like the kid's attitude. Being cheeky to the grown-up
The child should have been taught proper respect. You can't let kids do whatever they want to do. It has be boundaries. You have to explain what is acceptable and what is not acceptable
Maybe, but i think the reason why is because he slapped a kid. Of course, your gonna have bad assumptions when you do an awful thing. Tbh not many good people in that show lol
He is a great actor.
Don’t punish someone else’s kids, so suing the parents instead. 😂
I love Zachary Quinto and half the American cast but why do Americans have to adapt everything? Why can't they accept this as an Australian drama? Why make their own? Same with British shows. You don't see the British version of Desperate Housewives on ITV. Can they not appreciate a great piece of television without it having an American stamp on it??
This is originally an Australian series. The Aussie version is really good worth a watch!
You should still teach your kid to listen to adults so the adults don’t have to use physical force
Adults should never use physical force. 😂
@@sonyfusion1994and the parents shouldn’t let their child act out for stupid reasons.
It 100% is okay to correct a child no matter who they belong to if their behavior is harmful or disruptive to others. It is also 100% okay to discipline someone else’s child if they are in your care.
However, using corporal punishment on someone else’s child is not okay.
It used to be a community that raised a kid so the kid could learn how to act around other people problem is now communities arent the same, they are too big and people dont trust or care about others plus there are many bad parents that dont discipline their kids and spoil them
He's such an amazing actor and person! :)
lolololololol I like how Zach Quinto became a spokesperson for good parenting.
If you ask my Zachary what your Character did may have been harsh but your Character had the right attentions that kid was swinging a bat at your son and his parents did nothing that eresponsible is that.
I don't want someone else smacking my kid. I think it's okay to correct them, but never physically. How is my kid gonna respect his/her boss when they get a job if they can't respect others?
I'm sorry but he did the right thing I was beat a lot as a kid (I was naughty kid) and I got punished for it buy both my mum and dad but the question is do I hate them for it HELL NO in a way I kinda thank them for it as it taught me respect for my parents and my elders and for the law which is what is wrong with a lot of parents these days they don't want to be parents they want to be there friends
+David Smith My parents used to threaten me with violence as a kid well up into my adulthood. I've been slapped in the face, and had things thrown at me. It was over small things such as getting a haircut I'm 27 and I have PTSD as a result. I still fear my dad, but I don't respect him. Some people think that fear and respect comes hand-and-hand, but it doesn't. Because of the way my parents treated me growing up, not only do I have PTSD, but I've always had difficulties with authority figures, which is one of the reasons why I can't keep a job. I've been to therapists about this, but it didn't work. I'm now on a 2-year waiting list to see another therapist.
@@Marbledesertproductionsif Asians are like you people for having to meet therapist for such punishment, we won’t be around that long.
@@Marbledesertproductionsat that point ur parents isnt disciplining you,they are just beating you to blow off steam
Discipline your children before they grow up because if you don't the law will.
Discipline starts at home
They're lucky that Skylar didn't take a portion of their brain! Skylar!
Skylar! Best villain ever. The kind of villain you love to hate...
What a weird, weird concept for a show. Just...weird.
The Slap Finale:
Congratulations Australia for helping America to take it's first baby steps to understanding that the beginnings of violence and indifference actually begin in our homes with our reckless adults and include our vulnerable and innocent children. Bravo! What a great series.

Australia also had a successful gun ban in 96 that stopped all mass shootings and drove gun deaths and suicides down by like 80 percent. We have so much to learn in the USA. (see jon stewart and jon olivers Doc on the gun ban)
We are a long way from England where nobody has guns - even police. We might end up having less teeth per person but at least we would all be alive.
***** Melissa George was great in the usa show! I will watch the Australian version, thanks! btw I found out about the Aus gun control on John Oliver's Show. Man he cuts thru all the bs.
***** It seems every country has a hot/cold relationship with their celebs. Like if they try to move around for just quality of life reasons.
Yea, Bill Murray (Meatballs -stripes-snl) is a great example of what is good here, but I can't think of anyone that is close to his talent or matches him. Certainly not Seinfeld. For the most part we are pretty shallow, dumbed-down, and apparently really like it this way. A good example would be the majority of the comments on the Slap series along with it's American actors apologizing to save face.
It should be okay to discipline other’s kids. It would make parenting so much easier.
If the parent does not like the discipline then they can just tell them to stop.
And no I don’t mean discipline as a code word for hitting. I mean telling them off etc.
Doesn't matter what issues an Adult has. You don't hit another person's kid.
It wasn't about him. Have you ever dealt with a kid that was trying to hurt your child with a weapon? Then the kid kicks the guy on top of it. I have been it that situation. My cousin married a guy with horrible children. His little boy hurt my younger daughter with a toy. Hurt her pretty good too. They didn't do anything so I got in their boys face and he spit at me. I pushed him down pretty hard. Got my kids and rolled out. That was the last time I ever brought my kids over there. I can't put them in danger. I defended my daughter.
@@user-xj5xr2xj4cthat AINt tough. You just have a bad temper and can’t think straight in tense situations
@@sonyfusion1994 it wasn't about being tough. Do you have a daughter? I seriously doubt it or you would get it. It's not like having a wife or girlfriend. When you have a daughter your instincts kick in to protect her. And I must not have been wrong. It's not like they did anything about it. My cousin even told me later she was glad I did it. You don't understand how bad this kid is. Teachers give him snacks and balloons everyday he doesn't hurt someone at school. I'm not making this up. Including the teacher which he has chocked. So tell me, what would you do if a child grabbed your daughter by the throat and wouldn't let go? He never did that to my kids because they don't go there anymore. But he has done that to adults and other children. So tell me, pretend your daughter is getting choked by this kid and isn't letting go. What are uou going to do if his parents do notning?????????? I guess your daughter dies since you think I'm wrong. Right?
@@user-xj5xr2xj4c bro confront the parent not the child. Not a good way to make yourself look tougher.
I understand the need to defend but there should be rationale thinking like seriously. 😑
Slapping is NEVER okay.
There is always an ok. It just not your only option.
