What abduction? Did he take her off school property?
CARRREEEEEPPY.
20 strokes with a belt?
What did the med exam show, as such punishment will leave a reddening of the skin if not rather more lasting indications.
No doubt, like most of the parents on this site, her parents thought only ‘bad things’ happen at ‘other’ public schools...not the “wonderful” schools she’s enrolled in.
Using a belt was wrong. I do believe a paddle should have been used. I remember back in the 50’s I would get whacked across the knuckles with a band of rulers by nuns, or head bashed against the blackboard. They even made me whack myself on the knuckles until I cried. If I didn’t cry then they’d do it for me. I learned to cry early! When I told my father (I only did it the first time) instead of sympathy, he took off his belt and blistered my butt. By the time I got to the 6th grade I was a very good boy. Ahhh, the joys of remembering my youth.
The “public school” is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.
The “public school” is better understood as the “government school collective”.
It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is communist.
Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.
If you want to win the culture war, have lots of children (see my tagline) and homeschool them or form your own school cooperative with your church or synagogue and like-minded friends and relatives.
Nobody loves your children more than you do.
Nobody can teach your children like you can.
Your children would love nothing better than to be taught by you, if you start doing so before they are corrupted by the government school collective.
It is hypocritical for you to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally disagree. And your children will know it.
If you have children, make whatever sacrifices you must to get them out of the public schools.
DO NOT FEED THE BEAST!
Especially not with your own children.
I think a lot of folks on this thread are reading this as “corporal punishment” and not “sexual abuse”. After school, alone with the girl, high school age girl - this isn’t about corporal punishment it’s about some creep getting off over this sick fantasy.
Her father should have shown up at school with a shotgun.
High School? Even I didn’t get whacked after Jr. High and that was a couple of years ago.
