Carley is young, inexperienced and in love. She breaks the rules, is about to make love. Interrupted by Officer O'Holleran and a visit to the sheriff's office, she goes home with her mother. Instead of new exciting feelings on her backside in the back of a pickup truck, she experiences old exciting feelings on her backside at home. A Christian mother, a Christian daughter, one learns the value of virtue; her life changed by appropriate Christian discipline.Afterward: The discussion: Corporal punishment is not the sole property of Christianity. Islam is even more specific in requiring corporal punishment. Most Islamic nations and culture encourage discipline, as does Christianity. Are there any major world religions that historically opposed corporal punishment? America was founded on freedom of choice in religion, not freedom from religion. However socialist governments of the last century frequently opposed all religion. In Russia, in 1917, after the victory of Communist forces over the Czar, corporal punishment was abolished in the schools, and a great experiment was set in motion in which the lives of the people of Russia were greatly changed. No religion, no corporal punishment---did violence decrease in the Communist world? If memory serves me correctly more than 26 million people were executed after the revolution. Has elimination of corporal punishment decreased violence as America joined the historical Communist position in opposing religion and discipline in public schools?Russia has changed. It is now using corporal punishment for crimes, and their rate of dope addiction is dropping in those locations where possession of narcotics is punished by paddling, not imprisonment. The rate of violent crime in the Muslim world, where corporal punishment is often required by law, ranges from 1 to 10% of what we have in America. Are there any studies based on sound scientific principles which support the elimination of corporal punishment? If there are, I haven't found one.Paddling, spanking, corporal punishment is becoming a crime in America, wrong, evil. Is it? All the major religions prescribe it. Are the statics linking violent crime and LACK of corporal punishment all wrong? What is wrong, is doing it incorrectly. The purpose of this story, and the other books I have written including this subject are to show the right way, the non-abusive way to correct. Hurting a child, spanking in anger, using a tool that can cause injury---these are wrong. Spanking with proper knowledge and love is very different. Causing tears of repentance and correction without harm in order to avert tears of a life irreparably damaged is right---not wrong.However, this is a discussion. No human who feels or has felt pain is completely objective on this subject. We need to follow facts. We need to consider and learn why Russia, who led the world in abandoning corporal punishment is bringing it back, and why there is such a striking difference in the statistics of violent crime between nations who use corporal punishment and those who don't---being much lower in nations using corporal punishment.
