What are the possible reasons for a child being spanked by another mom in those stories?

Disobedience is a common one. For example, if a child is told not to do something like play with matches and still does it, the mom might spank as it's a very dangerous behavior.

One possible reason could be that the child did something really bad right in front of everyone, like deliberately breaking a precious item belonging to the mother's friend. The parent, in a moment of anger and lack of self - control, resorted to spanking.

Well, I don't think they are very common. Most moms would not spank someone else's child without permission. It's a big no - no in parenting ethics. However, in some very close - knit communities or families where there is a lot of shared parenting values, it might happen very rarely. But generally, it's an unusual situation.

Often, it can cause feelings of resentment. The child might not understand why they are being spanked and start to feel angry towards the mom or teacher. In the long term, it can also disrupt their relationship with authority figures. They may become rebellious or overly submissive in the face of authority. Moreover, it can have an impact on their self - esteem, making them feel unworthy or bad about themselves.

One reason could be to stop the child from shouting or making noise in a situation where it's not appropriate, like in a library or a church. So the mom handgags the child to keep the peace.

One possible reason could be that the child broke a very important rule, like cheating on a test in the case of a teacher, or lying repeatedly to the mother. However, this still doesn't justify spanking.

One reason could be bad behavior like bullying others. If a child bullies classmates after school, the school may take measures and spanking might be considered in some strict situations in the past. Another reason is disobeying school rules seriously, such as continuously running in the hallways when it's prohibited.

One possible reason is disobedience. If a child repeatedly refuses to follow the rules set by the mom, like not doing homework or not going to bed on time, the mom might cane as a form of discipline.

In many stories, disrespect is also a cause. Saying rude things to mom or not listening when she's talking. Moms spank to teach kids to respect others, especially family members. It's their way of instilling good values in a rather tough but sometimes necessary way.

In some stories, it could be a form of discipline within a traditional ranch - family setting. Maybe the ranch has strict rules about safety around the animals or equipment, and spanking is an extreme form of punishment for breaking those rules.
