A poster over at GWoP posted this link with a great question. What is Kate doing holding that paper roll? It's in her hand, its next to her while she sits on a chair and its in the garage play area while she is telling Collin to kiss Aiden.
There is no doubt in my mind, she threatens her children with that paper roll or the 'infamous" red spoon.
These kids were what just 3 years old and you use something to smack these kids with?
Kate Gosselin - You are more evil than I ever believed and so is TLC and all the crew members to allow it to happen
How can anyone do that to these tiny children? Sick, sick and even sicker are the fans who adore this woman!

Notakatelover, I understand your dislike for Kate. That is your opinion. While I do like Kate (though more in season 1-2, and early in season 3) I really don't think she is evil for spanking her kids.
It is her choice just like the choice of millions of parents across the US. While some are for it and others against it I think this comes from different religious backgrounds and how one is raised.
I believe in spanking (lets just call it what it is) and only use it in rare instances. But I do think to call someone evil for it is wrong. Also to call the people who like her "sick" because they allow it. I believe it is a personal choice and that as long as a parent is not physically abusing a child (meaning throwing them up against a wall, keeping them in cages,etc. I mean real abuse that we hear about everyday on the news) then we should not judge her.
Yes she put herself out there on tv, but still at the sametime I believe that this matter is rather private and the choice millions of parents must make everyday when training up a child.
Dear SoccerMomof3 -
Thank you for your comment.
While I agree that spanking is a personal choice, it should remain private and out of the eyes of strangers. I believe that Jon and Kate have spanked their children in front of the cameras and it has been edited out. This means that the producers and the camera men at the very least have witnessed the children being spanked. Children that are spanked in front of others become very embarrassed and it is humiliating.
I guess you missed my point as to why I refer to Kate "evil". In the video it is apparent, she uses a device of some sort to spank the children with. In this video, the kids seem to be about the age of 3. Why is it necessary for Kate to hit her children with an apparatus? Is her hand not strong enough? That is what I consider EVIL to the core. She is a bully and an evil one in my eyes.
If you think that physical abuse is limited to throwing a child against a wall or keeping them in cages, you are sadly mistaken!
These are small defenseless children and if they are being smacked with that paper towel roll or with a red spoon, they are being physically abused in my opinion.
Kate needs to pick on someone her own size, oh wait....she already does.....JON>
Would you rather her kids be "scared" of her hand ever time she raised it to, for example, brush a strand of hair away? I'd rather them see the object as the one that spanked them and not mom herself.
And anyways, it's all speculation that you think these kids are being abused. Please be careful before you flippantly use a word as powerful as 'abuse'. You need to get actual and true facts before you can accuse someone of abusing a child, to do otherwise is irresponsible.
Anonymous,
Why should the kids be afraid of her mother at all???
So, in your opinion its ok to be afraid of a paper towel roll instead of a hand?
Wow.....
No hitting little kids....PERIOD!!! END OF STORY!!!
Who says Kate's using that to hit her kids anyway? You all just started another stupid rumor!
Jaden, Jaden oh Jaden....
Read the post.....
let me ask you a question....would you like Kate less if she were hitting her kids with that apparatus or with her hand, or would you defend her actions?
Just curious!
I have a SIL with that dumb idea. If I "spank" with an object it is not "me" spanking but the object and my kids won't hate me but the object. My parents spanked and used objects and I left home ASAP and didn't speak to them for awhile. Hitting is hitting! If we hit an adult like that we go to jail! My daughter is now 21 and I never spanked her. Spanking is abuse. Hitting a child is wrong.
So quick to throw stones....
FYI, I am 24 years old and I was spanked regularly when I was a child. Spatulas, wooden spoons, bare hands, belts, etc. My parents didn't beat me, but they spanked me and guess what...I'm not emotionally or physically affected by it.
You all are free to have your own families and raise your kids to your choosing. Get a life and stop criticizing others for their choices. Unless these kids are coming out with bruises, they'll be fine.
This generation of over-protecting moms has me sick. Back off already. You all sound like a bunch of shrews.
Dear Anonymous -
Why do you think its ok to hit as long as it doesn't leave bruises? Did your parents teach you that? Because, they're wrong if they said that to you.
I feel so bad for you, I am so sorry that you were beaten with a spatula, spoons, belts and etc....I hope you don't carry the abuse over to your own children.
It does not only hurt a child physically, hitting children leaves mental scars. Please think twice before you raise a hand to your children if you have them, if not....I strongly suggest you think back to the moment when you were stuck by your parents and remember how painful it was both physically and emotionally.
As far as your comment regarding this generation of over-protective parents, my parents and generations before them back never once hiit their children.....NOT ONE! EVER!!! It might be the culture that I come from but we do not believe in hitting children..
No matter how you and I may disagree on Jon and Kate Gosselin, please ,please do not hit your kids....Please!
Exploitation AND abuse. What wonderful parents.
At Kate's latest appearance she admitted that they spank the kids. The entire audience applauded. I had no idea that hurting small people was so popular.
Carrie -
I guess those are the type of people her fan base is made up.
Sad
I was hit as a child, with a hanger. Nope, I didn't blame the hanger, I blamed my mom. It was her hand holding the hanger. If Kate is hitting her kids with something, it is still her hand holding it, so I don't believe the utensil is better theory.
Abuse is abuse. Neglect is neglect. Mental and emotional abuse is bad too.
Yes. These parents are guilty of all three. Well, not guilty because they have no conscious.
I wish you would use your time to help people who need it not try to tear people down. You know they say HURT PEOPLE, HURT PEOPLE. They are starving and homeless children who could use an advocate like you to help them. Why waste your time doing this to the Gosselin Family?
Dear Anonymous...
I tell you what...I will change this blog when the Gosselins STOP exploiting and hurting their 8 children....
Deal???
IMO..........
Kate Gosselin is nothing but a pimp, she uses her kids to keep herself in high fashion and to live in a nice house. I am doing the best I can to expose her for what she truly is.
Thank you for reading!!!!
So I guess you don't think the Gosselin kids are worth saving?
So sad. Drink more kool-ade and send Kate some money, she needs a bikini wax.
Wow. I am really happy you posted this. I have fallen in the camp of initially liking the show and then slowly becoming more and more disturbed. But still kind of being attracted to it like one is a horrific traffic accident. This is what I needed to just finally break away. I NEVER noticed that on my own... but she obviously hits them. Sick. It's actually laughable that that was a segment on trying to teach the kids not to hit...
