An interesting take on corporal punishment and child abuse

Consider this quote:

We live in a world that considers a few swift swats to the ass to be “child abuse”, but permanently damaging his future educational, relationship, and job prospects isn’t.

That was said in response to the story of a high school kid who committed suicide to after facing life as a registered sex offender (and expulsion) following a streaking incident as a US high school football game. Something to think about whatever your views on corporal punishment.
