Child Abuse Prevention and Corporal Punishment

When I was taking a Foster Parent training course in 1997-8 with our state agency's local office, we had a substantial discussion of alternative options, and a video presentation of some in use.                                                                                   I also know of a teacher who trained at UNH during the mid-1970's, got his first position at a school in Texas, where they were issued paddles for disciplinary purposes. He left the position at Christmas break because he "wasn't trained to use paddles [or implements] for disciplining students".

If anyone would know, Lucien, it would be someone from this organization -- StopSpanking.org. Robbyn Peters Bennett is a member of ACEsConnection. You could send her a message.
