And that is in TODAY’s environment? It’s unimaginable the amount of abuse children have had to endure in the past.
Are you serious? I’d bet that sexual exploitation is at close to an all-time high.
We had a fair bit of corporal punishment up until grade 9, when the school board wussed out. The corporal punishment, and the residual habits instituted through it, created a reasonable atmosphere for learning, IMHO. I would not characterize that as abuse.
