National Interest in Hardy just ended....

[Lumps]

are you advocating bronze-age measures of justice and social formation? if so let's not stop at rods of discipline… hell, god justified bears eating kids for disrespecting their elders

This is the south so yes.

[Ruff]

Interested in seeing exactly what the injuries where. If the kid had any bruises or if AP broke the skin.

I can't imagine any situation where AP hit someone with a stick, and them not have some lasting injuries.

meanwhile the catholic church keeps rolling right along

[KillerKat]

Everyone got spanked. Many with switches or belts. If they wanted to charge people for spanking their children with those things, just about everyone's mom and dad will be locked up right now. Over half the elderly population will be in jail also.

Cant speak on how hard he whipped him.  But you think he would swing with all his might?  If so he should go to jail.

Do you eat pork? Let Wiccans live?

If so, you're not living by your own rules.

You know what's the one thing worse than a hardcore religious fanatic?

A jackass who is infatuated with belittling religious persons.

If I read right, the injuries were reported by the child's mother upon the child being returned to her.

The domestic aspect to this makes it especially complicated. What happens when you have two parents who aren't together, one of whom believes in corporal punishment while the other doesn't?

I imagine half the people in this thread who are like, "well got damn brother, my daddy beat me silly, look a' how I turnt out" look like Joe Dirt and listen to Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh religiously.

Look I respect your right if you don't believe in Christianity or any religion. But when you belittle and marginalize people of faith because you don't have a coherent argument you're the one it looks small and intolerant.

So I'm super right side and an idiot for my dad spanking me? Darn, I guess I SHOULDN'T have received that 100,000 dollar scholarship from the most difficult school to get into in Kentucky.

I don't belittle religious people at all. But, if you try to bring the Bible into a conversation about how beating your children is wrong, then you need to be shown the hypocrisy of what you're saying.

Also, your posting sucks. But, 7/10. Made me reply.

The police report says the doctor described some of the marks as open wounds and termed it “child abuse.” Another examiner agreed, calling the cuts “extensive.”

if there are marks left on the child for any period of time other than a flushing of the skin, that is child abuse, not discipline 

 

some people bruise more easily than others, but that is no excuse.

It was my understanding that it was the doctor that reported the case, not the wife.
