Take Action in Canada!


A pro-spanking Canadian lawyer, David Brown, has recently been appointed to the Ontario Superior Court in Toronto. Brown defended Dobson's Focus on the Family, which recommends beating children as young as 15 months and using wooden boards and belts to hit little children, in their fight against Canada's Supreme Court decision to limit child-hitting. Please protest the appointment of this pro-hitting lawyer, by writing Canada's Dept. of Justice at webadmin@justice.gc.ca Here is a sample letter:

Dear Department of Justice,

I object strongly to the appointment of David Brown to the Ontario Superior Court, and hope this decision is reversed as soon as possible. David Brown is well known to defend hitting children, an outdated practice that has been proven to increase aggression and violent acts, and which is at the root of the majority of child abuse cases. Mr. Brown should not be in a position of authority in which he could promote violence and abuse.

Sincerely,
(your name)

STILL MORE NEWS
The Rotenberg Center in Massachusetts, which we protested earlier this year, has been fined $43,000!! They were claiming to have a number of "psychologists" on their staff, who turned out not to be licensed!! The Rotenberg Center tortures children with painful skin shocks, withholding food, and other means of punishment. See this article and this one.
