Georgia paddling video sparks corporal punishment discussion

http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/16/us/georgia-school-paddle-video/

(CNN) A Georgia mother's video of school administrators apparently paddling her 5-year-old son is causing a nationwide discussion on the merits of corporal punishment.

Shana Perez of Covington posted the video of the principal and assistant principal trying to spank the boy.

She admits she gave permission for her son to be paddled, but asserted she did so to avoid going to jail.

"If he gets suspended I am going to be arrested for truancy. If he misses another day, I am going to be arrested," Perez told CNN affiliate WSB of Atlanta.

They should watch this video so they know how the educators operate. They are monsters who do this to children. It's why I escaped and moved to civilization. I couldn't watch the video but the description is heartwrenching. And for spitting. They're monsters.
