| "This teacher, he never had a single complaint lodged against him in thirty years. But he quit three jobs. Pretty good jobs, near as I could tell. And moved on. Nobody at any of his old jobs had a bad word to say about him. So I took a look. My kind of look: a hard one. And what all the schools he left had in common was this: each one had banned corporal punishment. You understand what I'm saying, Mr. Powell?" "I believe so." "Yeah? Well, let me spell it out for you, just in case. This guy was a child molester, but he never had sex with any of the kids. No, what he did was 'punish' them. That's how he got his rocks off, paddling kids. Nothing illegal about it, in some schools. And every time one of the schools changed their policy, he'd just go someplace else. Where he could have his fun." "That's sick." "I'm sure that's what the teachers' union would have said, if he'd ever gotten busted for what he was doing." "You don't like teachers much, Mr. . . . Grange?" "I like teachers fine. I don't like freaks who hide behind authority to fuck with kids. Do you?" Pain Management (Knopf, 2001), p. 67 |

Man who recorded himself spanking girl's bottom gets 17 years in prison
"A 28-year-old man who invited a 9-year-old girl and her family to live with him and then recorded himself spanking her bare buttocks was sentenced to 17 years in prison Monday.
It was the latest in Lucas Orlin Ebert's series of convictions for a string of crimes that included posing as an OHSU doctor and writing bad checks.
The young girl reported that Ebert also kissed her on the lips, pressed his body up against her from behind and tried to force his way into the bathroom while she was showering, according to a probable cause affidavit.
The girl, her siblings and her mother moved in with Ebert after the girl's father was sentenced to 30 days in jail in May 2017, investigators say. The girl's mother told police that Ebert had met and become best friends with the girl's father several months earlier, was an uncle-like presence in the girl's life and seemed to have endless finances to help the family out."

Child abuse climbs after Friday report cards, study says
"Dr. Robert Sege, a Boston pediatrician and Tufts University professor of medicine, said bad grades should be a time for parents to find out what's causing their childrens' struggles. "There's no place for corporal punishment for school failure because it doesn't work and misses the point."
Sege is lead author of an American Academy of Pediatrics policy update released last month that recommends against corporal punishment and spanking.
An editorial published with study said the United States deserves a C-minus "for effective discipline strategies.""
