In light of the devastating events that allegedly took place at Penn State and Syracuse Universities, we now see fresh evidence of horrific child sexual abuse that continues to be all too prevalent in our society. How many children have been violated and are living with horrible emotions, too frightened to come forward?
Although it is impossible to put a cocoon around your children, there are many measures that you can put to use, which will mitigate the danger.

We have taught our 3 children from an early age that “No One has the right to touch them, they can say “No!”, get away and tell someone” to protect them from sexual abuse.
Our 3 children who we do not hit attend public schools in an Unresponsive “Paddling School District” where they are forced to overhear their teachers hit classmates with thick wooden paddles in hallways just outside class as a knee-jerk reaction to minor infractions such as not turning in homework or horsing around, without parental consent or notification, not required per TN State Law!
Federal and State government officials informed us that School Corporal Punishment is a “local issue”. We made a written/verbal presentation to our local school board members in April 2008, during “National Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month” to Demand they Prohibit Physical Punishment of students in our schools and they ignored us, no letter, no phone call!
Taxpayer fundes public school teachers, coaches and administrators in 19 U.S. States legally hit schoolchildren kindergarten through twelfth grade with wooden boards/paddles to inflict Pain to Punish them (Sexual Assault when done to a non-consenting adult), Illegal in Schools in 31 U.S. States!
Paddling injuries to students put local school districts, state and federal governments at risk of lawsuits. Several “School Paddling States” have “Teacher Immunity Laws” to protect school employees from criminal/civil action. Federal courts uphold outrageous incidents of school corporal punishment and the U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear school corporal punishment appeals, leaving families of injured schoolchildren no legal redress!
