Reply #4: I'm sorry, but in my opinion, "corporal punishment" of a child older than 12 ought to be prosecuted

[Lyric]

as a sexual assault. It's sickening. Even my PARENTS did not "spank" us after a certain age. There are lines of propriety being crossed here that go FAR beyond the average "spanking debate". This isn't about whether or not spanking is appropriate for children--even people who think that spanking children is okay should be able to see that an adult spanking a teenager is SICK, and is even SICKER when the spanking is being performed by someone who's not a parent. It boggles my mind that people who are ordinarily SO fucking prudish about "sexual morality" would EVER think that this was okay. :puke:

And no, giving the child the "option" of serving a suspension instead does not make it okay. The fact remains that these people WOULD spank a teenager. They are not opposed to the idea in theory. That alone is enough proof for ME that they're sickos.
