Church on the left, Town Hall in the centre, the view onto the school is obscured by the church building and we see only the house between school and Town Hall. How it used to be in Approved Schools and other British youth institutions: regulations, theory and practice, with links to key documents. At both the state and federal levels, the “troubled teen” industry—religious and secular—enjoys quiet support from many politicians. (Key fundraisers for Mitt Romney’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns hail from Utah’s teen-home sector.) Local courts promote the homes as an alternative to juvenile detention, and facilities can collect a variety of state and federal grants.

I knew when my kids went to school, I was not going to let them get paddled,” Rankin said. She dutifully submitted the paperwork to exempt them from the punishment and thought that was the end of it.

The notion that the presence of the cane was a deterrent is based on the offensive idea that children are predisposed to misbehaviour, bullying or violence by default. This implies children will be completely unable to help themselves from doing the wrong thing unless the threat of physical punishment is there to convince them otherwise. Anyone who has worked in schools for children social, emotional and mental health needs knows how ridiculous that is.

New Beginnings describes itself as a character-building facility for “troubled teens,” and what Jeannie Marie heard in church that day was that this might be a place for her daughter to heal. While jogging earlier that year, the 17-year-old (whom I’ll call Roxy) had been pulled into a vehicle and assaulted by a group of men. Since then, she had begun acting up at home, as well as sneaking out and drinking. Two weeks after seeing the girls in church, Jeannie Marie and her husband left Roxy in McNamara’s care with the promise that she would receive counseling twice a week and stay at New Beginnings no longer than two months. “It sounded like a discipleship program,” Jeannie Marie recalls. “A safe place where a daughter can go to have time alone to find God and her direction.” You can also view the links to 2014's items for all countries combined as a single date sequence at News Chronology 2014) Can't you just feel Eversmann leering at the poor lady-in-waiting, and Wilhelmine's flesh crawling as she retells the scene -- having been threatened with incarneration herself seconds earlier, the prospect of whipping must have felt very personal to Wilhelmine.]Haines, Neither Rogues nor Fools.

Local records show that nearly half the time students faced formal discipline this school year, their consequence was a paddling. Almost every week, sometimes multiple times per week, some of the school’s 328 students were pulled out of class because of a behavior problem, but unlike students in the vast majority of schools nationwide, their consequence was physical.

Is there any information on the incidence of crime in areas that have banned corporal punishment in schools, compared to those which haven't?

I have some more now in respect of the punishment regime and the "Welcome"/"Farewell" at the Spinnhaus in Spandau.: A headmaster remembers disciplining his charges. (Approximately 7,520 words. Originally published 1999-11.) Thanks for those kind words. I am writing, but don't really want to post until I'm fairly sure I will be able to complete the story -- nothing worse than stories that are abandoned a couple of chapters in. That’s awesome. As is the fact that Julia, who spent a full year reporting this challenging story, promptly heard from a Senate committee that will use her work in their own investigation of Universal Health Services.
