My son goes to a small parochial school. They still believe in corporal punishment there.?

I complained to the priest who runs the school that I didn't want anyone hitting my child. The priest assured me that he does not spank with a paddle or belt, but rather uses his bare hand. should I be okay with this???

    Take your kid out, and go to public school.

    Besides.. it's FREE!

    Don't trust those pedophile priests.

    (this is in a complete nice way, so if it sounds mean it's really not)

    I'm assuming that before you enrolled your son (or shortly after) they should have given you a school handbook or booklet about what their rules are, dress code etc. I know almost every school has one. If you knew (you certainly know now) that they prat iced corporal punishment there, that is something you have to come to terms with, only you can decide if you are okay with it or not. If you don't want them to practice corporal punishment on your son, enroll him in a different school. No matter how well behaved your son may be, there is a possibility that he could be punished for at least one infraction. Like i said, only you can decide if you can you are okay with it.

    i am 100 percent behind corporal punishment and that you should also hit your son and hit him with a stick and let the priest do the same

    At least he'll not do it again, I believe in a corporal punishment, but it must be to the right person for the right reason, its no good doing it by mistake to the Innocent, so they must be 1000% sure they have the right person the one who did the crime

    It is NEVER permissible to hit a CHILD.

    What in the hell is wrong with you??????

    Tell the priest that if anyone hits your child, you will file criminal assault charges.

    Then do it.

    And why in the hell would you send your kids to a school where you KNOW that they approve of child abuse??????

    YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS HAVING KIDS.

    No. Tell him that if your wish not to have your child abused is insufficient, charges will come next.
