If spanking was brought back into all schools and also allowed at home our youth would learn to accept reactions to their actions. Now, I am not talking abuse here, I am talking about a spanking administered to the correct area. I was abused as a child. My foster mother didn't care where her belt, switches, or cat-of-nine-tails hit you. My sisters, and brothers would sometimes take weeks to heal over such beatings. As much as I have loathed the woman for beatings, I am grateful to her for teaching me some good lessons in life.

When I read in the paper, or see on tv a child of 6 or seven commiting crimes that were just unheard of in our day is appalling. Parents, and teachers rights have been taken away leaving us that do have some children that time-out, grounding doesn't seem to work, nothing to back us up. Yet, with that right taken away when a small, child and even young teens get in trouble with the law, they get tried as adults, now that I think is a worse injustice to the youth than suffering a spanking in school or at home.
