I'm wondering about the mother who gave her permission!

Why? The jury agreed with him, the mother agreed with him, he was running a homeless shelter ... are you one of those that thinks 'corporal punishment' is never ever called for? I know I needed it more than I got it, and the problem today is that we are 'overextending' gov't into such 'inquiries' under the PC guise of 'protecting' the children.

The problem with you is that you can't discuss anything without trying first to smear somebody.

and the problem today is that we are 'overextending' gov't into such 'inquiries' under the PC guise of 'protecting' the children. Screw protecting the children, protect me! If these kids are directing traffic at construction sites, and the oldest was 13, there's a lot of potential for disaster here. The last thing I want to see on my way home from work is a construction equpiment gone wild because some teen or preteen couldn't figure out construction site logistics. People could die. There's no way anyone can or should attempt to justify or defend this. The guy was hiding behind the bible to use his children as cheap labor that they are clearly not qualified for. Plain and simple.
