Why This Blog is Important

I don't "drive traffic" to this blog. Occasionally I will put it in rotation on Blog Explosion, but for the most part people find this blog through Google searches for terms like:

"blog about rebellious child"
"alternatives to spanking"
"facts about corporal punishment"
"does spanking cause aggressive behavior in children?"
"christian parenting"
"how can I stop hitting my child"

If searches like that are bringing people here, where they can read FACTS about what corporal punishment really is and what it does to a child's psyche, I feel that the blog is doing its job.

Thank you, especially, to The Lawrences for all their hard work to save children from barbaric punishment in the name of "Jesus".

Another Horrific Case of "Discipline" in the Name of Jesus

Dear Friends,

Perhaps you have heard of the hideous torture of 4 year old Aiyana, confined to an unheated garage, starved, tied up and beaten to death: link. Notice the murderer smiling and holding a Bible.



Please email the Court Magistrate where the parents of Aiyana are being tried for her murder: magistrate@county.tippecanoe.in.us

Here is a sample letter:
________________________

Dear Court Magistrate,

I am horrified by the case of 4 year old Aiyana Gauvin being tortured and beaten to death. Her stepmother, Michelle Gauvin, has been sentenced to life in prison with no parole, and I ask that no appeals to this conviction be granted. She has proven beyond any doubt that she is dangerous to society, and deserves no freedom to have access to children again.

The father of Aiyana, Christian Gauvin, will be sentenced soon. I ask that he receive the maximum number of years in prison, for cruel torture of his own daughter, for confining her to an unheated garage, for tying her up for lengthy periods, for denying her food, for beating her repeatedly, and for being an accomplice in her murder.

Thank you,
(your name)
