Yes, adult woman. But if she were underage? thesquanderer Mar 2024 #31
It would have better if she was younger? Voltaire2 Mar 2024 #73
They shouldn't be allowed to paddle any student PatSeg Mar 2024 #122

I think there is a case to be made that this is sexual assault... at least DA should be involved hlthe2b Mar 2024 #4
Another sad aspect of this is moniss Mar 2024 #6
I understand your perspective. I don't understand if it minimizes her assault to compare the two littlemissmartypants Mar 2024 #11

She had two bad choices. Voltaire2 Mar 2024 #77
Her other options would impact her application for college. redqueen Mar 2024 #93
If it comes across as victim blaming Duncanpup Mar 2024 #120

Schools in the South still rely on 'paddling' as a form of punishment. 70sEraVet Mar 2024 #17
Why do they call it paddling? Farmer-Rick Mar 2024 #24
What is the difference? The practice is abhorent, sadistic, sick, by whatever name. niyad Mar 2024 #27
Paddling sounds more benign Farmer-Rick Mar 2024 #37

My guess is they use an instrument, like a paddle, not hands. phylny Mar 2024 #28
I think the idea is, spanking is with the hand, paddling is with an instrument. 70sEraVet Mar 2024 #30

The use of an object called a paddle is what makes it paddling. Never heard of a girl getting it. Hekate Mar 2024 #135
Possibly due to the paddle? Roxi Mar 2024 #144
