, , , my seventh grade science class in Bridgeport. The story behind the picture is here (but, be warned, it's written like a seventh grader. I'm still trying to figure out if the photo is from a week after the punishment or if it took a week before the punishment was handed out. And I still don't know if the father consented to the punishment or was never notified.)

what's going on with 51 south
Well, I don't care what the situation was. If those wounds were created from a whipping, regardless of who whipped that person, in my opinion, it's deplorable. Despicable. Not to be accepted. Can all you red necks dig what I just typed? Whippings like that serve no purpose - the whippers should be hung.
"Mr. Walden said school officials have now accused Jay of distributing lewd photographs because he showed other students and a teacher the photos of his discolored buttocks following the paddling."
What wimpy bastards the officials are, trying to deflect their evil actions. To hell with them I say.
The photo may be bad, but if the SCHOOLS and PARENT would bust some more ass, my job as a Police Office would be MUCH MUCH easier. God gave us all butts and I think parents need to kick some ass........Too many parents cry "my kid would not do that," Well bullshit!!! The Wise County Jail would not have half the kids it has if parents and schools would bust some ass.
8:21> I do have to agree with ya!! I'm in my mid 50's and I learned at a very early age, WAY before I became a teenager, 2 things that will get you through life pretty easy, honesty and respect, pretty simple, huh?
Someone has to discipline those punks. Everyone knows their parents sure aren't doing the job.
I would be pissed if some paddled my son like that. And as far as him showing the pictures to the teacher.. he just showed her prof of child abuse and she should have reported to the police right then.
I am all for keeping the kids in line and if someone else sees my kids acting up by all means stop them but that was a little much.
When did getting your butt busted at school become child abuse? In our screwed up world today--a kid gets a paddling and his old man files a police report and probably an eventual lawsuit. When I was a kid, you get busted at school and your old man had another butt busting waiting on you at home.
My how things have changed???
It's Barry beating the CRAP out of
Greg! Hell to the YEAH!!!
Barry's in the thong!!!
Was this taken immediatley after the whipping or was it taken at home after his dad got a hold of him? I remember in school that if we received any kind of discipline at school it was nothing compared to what we received at home. Though there wasn't any physical abuse from the parents.
A paddling in school is commonly a last resort after many, many offenses and other wasted forms of punishment that failed to get the kid's attention. What do you expect paddling bruises to look like? What the kid is displaying is typical nowadays...that the system is EVIL and BRUTAL and he is an innocent victim. BS! He is lucky to get swats and his next step is OUT THE DOOR! Maybe we should forego corporal punishment in school and just dump them out of the system when they become behavioral problems. At least he gets another chance to remain in school while his little aching fanny reminds him of his wrongs.
You can't hit the human body with a piece of wood and not leave bruises........but why does it have to be one or the other. Paddling (responsibly) is quick, efficent, and effective....not like ISS and DAEP where you burden the classroom teacher with carrying lessons back and forth, you burden the taxpayer with more teachers, rooms etc, you interrupt the kid's learning and on and on.
Yes, it needs to be done correctly and witnessed and with parental consent. (actually I would like for the parent to come to the school and administer it)
You don't have to look too far to see how ineffective the current crap is working. I started teaching without so much as a student handbook/code of conduct; finished that career with a handbook over 150 pages. And the kids getting worse and worse.
Butt busting is not the answer. We need to respect kids and in turn be respected from them. I am a firm believer that if you give a child respect they'll have respect for you and not disobey.
8:16... seriously, you must not have kids or ever even been around children.Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
I think we should go back to cracking our children over the knuckles with a ruler.
There's corporal punishment and then there's child abuse. Any kind of punishment that leaves marks like that on a child enters the realm of child abuse. If my child came home from school with marks like that I'd have pressed charges in a New York minute. That's not to say I wouldn't agree with APPROPRIATE punishment if my child acted out, but this appears to go way beyond appropriate.
I'm sort of middle-of-the-road on this issue. I firmly believe in corporal punishment, but getting another whipping at home is TOO MUCH! The child has already been punished for what he/she did at the school, so why is it necessary to have it again at home? That's excessive to me.
However, I didn't get paddled at school very much simply because of the fear of getting spanked. It HURTS!
If a girl is bad she needs to spanked real hard um-kay.
8:16, I work in a school and can assure you that some kids will disobey no matter how they are treated. I witness it everyday.
11:32 -- i agree it's hard to discipline a HUGE VARIETY of kids from different types of PARENTS-- that's one of the main reasons i got out of the that field b/c more and more kids are getting out of control and extremely disrespectful. i just thnk that as adults we don't like to be hit. Y do u thnk it's ok to hit a child. It's not...
9:05 as a matter of fact i'm a mother 3 (all grown and on there own)... I never laid a hand on them and I was never disrespected by them.
Hitting is the lazy way out and the easy way! find other alternatives. TALK to them for christs sakes!
The sad thing in this day and age the kids aren't taught to respect others no matter the age. Parents are getting way to lax in how they discipline their children. The Bible is full of verse on discplining children. We need to get back to the basic or our children will not turn out worth a darn.
I agree with you, 12:29, about the lack of respect, but I'll take it one step further. Kids don;t respect others because, a lot of times, ADULTS don;t respect others.Wanna see what I mean? Go to a basketball, baseball or football game, and watch the idiots in the stdsn get all over the officials. They think it's cute, funny opr their God-given right, when it is NOT! When adults act worse that kids do, what's wrong with society?
I think it is all about respect and the majority of children have none today. You just watch at any event if all the seats are taken and an elderly person comes in, do any of the young ones get up and and say, "here take my seat"? No, sure don't. Parents today are worried about being their children's friend instead being their parent, due to being divorced or not wanting to raise their kids the way they were raised. Whatever the reasons kids today are out of control and they have parents behind them excusing their behavior.
