This is just fucking child abuse. There is NO reason a child under a year old should be spanked AT ALL. Children that young don't understand what they're doing, and they won't understand why someone is causing them pain.
I really wish that Child Protective Services could track everyone who buys that book.

To Train Up a Child has sold more than 800,000 copies, according to Michael Pearl. Sales have remained steady in recent years and are only boosted by attacks, he says. "We have several million very happy and cheerful parents and kids who've seen great, wonderful fruit from that book and other things we've written."
