2020 cant get here soon enough
So its legal to whoop a kid with a stick? But leaving marks with said stick is illegal? WTF do you think is going to happen!??!?
We've already seen the entire gamut of what makes this such a complex issue in this thread:
Corporal punishment is archaic.
I'm OK with whooping kids, but a four year old???
Whooping is OK as long as there is a cool down period.
I think whoopings should only be done in the heat of the moment.
The cool down is the worst!!! Kids should not have to live in fear like that!!!
Whooping might be OK, depending on the choice of weapon.
Its a fascinating subject. And its an interesting case that may end up being decided in the supreme court. I obviously don't know all of the details but in a state where its still legal to "switch" kids in school (I can't even believe that still exists) if Peterson crossed the line, he's barely across it and a simple warning might have been prudent in this instance. Anyway....
As long as we're sharing stories... we were on our way to town and picked up the mail on the way. The mail had one of those packages of books that you would only be charged for if you didn't return it. My brother asked if he could open it and my dad said no. He opened it anyway. So my dad calmly asks "do you want your spanking now or when we get back home?" Two minutes later we're pulled off on the side of the highway...
Sick decision for a 6 year old eh?
