The man’s 12-year-old daughter got into a heated argument with her sister Monday, and the father wanted to discipline his daughter, according to a deputy’s report. A deputy came over to his house, supervised the discipline, and determined it was within legal bounds and that there was no crime, and left, authorities said.
Although it may sound bizarre to some parents, the sheriff’s office has received several similar requests in the past. Undersheriff Noel Stephen said he has personally supervised approximately 12 spankings. “It happens,” Stephen said. “It’s definitely not something we advertise to do, and even though law enforcement has been willing to help out in this situation, watching a parent discipline their child is something that’s done only when a deputy has no other calls to handle.” Read more: www.wpbf.com...

Yet he's there at every "punishment".
Gotta wonder about that. I don't even know where to take this one…
lets start with the laws governing spanking. Is it over the lap, pants down, open hand? Are there…"implements" or restraints involved? How many blows are "sufficient…"
bordering on the absurd and just maybe… something else.

When my eldest children were young (late 1980's,) my husband at the time and I used spanking to correct bad behavior. It was the way he was raised by not I by either of my parents or any care giver. However,subsequent years later I developed different ways of disciplining depending on the child,and as new parenting informatiion became available. I agree with you Jude,that children have been given too much of the upper hand but spanking imho is not necessarily the best form of discipline. In this case of the father calling a cop to supervise a spanking,I find deeply disturbing,notably because of the girls age. She is above and beyond the age where that form of discipline is acceptable in any circumstance. And having a cop watch...well,in certain other circumstances he could be arrested for that himself. No matter what her offence,she just endured an indignity at the hands of her father that will cause mental torment throughout her life,and affect her personal relationships with men. Just my two cents.
