Fuck. Most of the stuff Luckie quoted from that FB-page would be totally illegal in Holland. Paddles? Really? Bare bottom spanking? Structurally implementing anything like that would cause you to lose you your child over here. As it should be. Teachers and doctors are being trained to spot the signs.
I also think taking away (let's say) a month of a kid's social life can have a negative impact on the kid's development. And that such punishment should be rarely if ever be implemented. But I'm going on my experience growing up myself here. I've been grounded. It was 100% deserved - no complaints there. But in the end it caused me to lose a lot of friends and subsequently I switched schools.
I don't have any kids yet, but I'm thinking about these things because there's a good chance this will change in the near future. And I'm clueless about how to deal with these things from a parents point of view
