10. My experience was one day at a Catholic day care

I had my mouth washed out with soap for "saying the lord's name in vain" and I was spanked for some minor infraction. My parents never spanked us.

Other kids were getting similar discipline for all sorts of things. It seemed as if that's all the caretakers were doing. There was a constant atmosphere of fear with the regular kids that went there. That was the last time I ever attended their day care. I can't imagine how anyone could stand that type of abuse throughout their childhood.
