School Paddling as Sexual Harassment Parents who thought paddling was “ok”—until it was too late—case 2 Here’s another parent who specifically requested paddling rather than suspension—then sued when there were bruises—which apparently surprised him. Be aware parents: bruises—even severe ones—result very regularly from school paddling. You might lose your children if you did this kind of abuse and you probably fantasize that professional government or church teachers, who supposedly have college degrees and training in child care, are at least as protective of your children as you are as a parent. Teachers, however, are specifically authorized to commit legal child abuse, which for them is legally explained away as “not abuse.” They are protected at every level of the legal system afterwards since pro-paddling legislators specifically write the laws that way. The investigations will go nowhere—and even if it did go to court nothing will come of it there except possibly huge fines for the complaining parent of the injured child. You cannot measure the force of hits so it can never be argued a teacher hit “too hard.” This story comes from the Berkeley News (Charleston.net) from October 10, 1998, called “Bruises spark school paddling probe.” In this case a doctor reported bruising child abuse that was inflicted at Macedonia Middle school in Berkeley County. The child was fighting and the school wanted to suspend him for three days, but the parents asked them to paddle him instead. Then the principal, who apparently acts at the behest of parents who want him to hit, did paddle the child and created bruising that would constitute child abuse in any other setting. Nevertheless it was a rather ordinary paddling by the school’s standards. The child was given “three swats” with a witness present. Again…Wake up parents! Having adults beat your child’s buttocks with a wood board very commonly causes ruptured blood vessels, long lasting redness, and bruising that can last for days or even weeks. The only thing you can do to protect your child from this otherwise illegal abuse is not to allow any paddling. If you ask for it, don’t be surprised at any level of injuries afterwards, and don’t expect any remedy in the courts. ***** End of Section ***** Chapter 2: School Beatings in the News “Parental “Support” (as long as they remain ignorant)
