As I said at the beginning of this, Dr. Corbi Milligan should be removed from medical practice in the United States. So many of you simply do NOT seem to hear a word I have to say. Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin.

I'm surprised that any high school would be dishing out 'spankings in this day and age. They pretty much asked to be sued. Then to go and hit a kid on his tail bone....well there you have it, utter stupidity.

Remember writing this? You owe me and the principal an apology, if you're a big enough person. You were completely wrong and should be able to admit it. I tried to inform you, but you were unwilling...

The parents of the boy are very well known in the area as total wankers and folks loathe them.

You were right on. Hmmmm....wonder why I posted what I did. I'm tired of being questioned by ignorant posters on FR. Check out the above link to the intial post of this story for reference.

Why? Did they lie or did they just report the facts. Please be specific. If the kid was hit on the tail-bone, that is NOT a spanking, that is abuse.

Meant what I wrote. Wrote what I meant and now would like to see punitive action taken against Dr. Milligan for nearly ruining the reputation of a VERY reputable principal. Keith Williams was a friend of mine when I lived in that area and his character was/is beyond reproach and I knew it was when I posted the story.

So, here, it's posted to you.

That's it, tear them a new one. Too many people on this board make statements that they can't back up, and are mysteriously silent when they are proven wrong.

This is a ridiculous story, but a very real and complicated issue.

I moved from Kansas to New York when I was eleven. On one occasion in high school in New York the subject of corporal punishment was brought up. People were incredulous that it was legal in schools in most of the country, which isn't to say that some weren't hit at home. They didn't even believe it.

Personally I think that parents have the right to discipline as they wish so long as the child isn't injured, but I don't think that should extend to schools.
