Bottoms Up Program Went Belly Up, but I Give it a Thumbs Up

It's always a good day when spanking shows up in the news!

The North County Gazette brought a smile to brought a smile to my face with an article about Warren, Ohio. As a Manhattan gal, this would not have come to my attention without the Internet. Isn't life wonderful?

It seems a police chief felt regular discipline sessions for teens that got into trouble would do more good than those programs and sanctions already in the legal system. Good try, but now the officer has his hands full of legal trouble with numerous convictions and a pending suit. Interestingly though, it seems that the jury didn't consider these spankings assault and those charges didn't stick.

What I would really like to know is if the program worked!
