Stop Child Abuse

I checked this site, and sure enough, these people operate out of my hometown. This is NOT uncommon for Bakersfield-- WAY conservative view point. Spanking children is very common as a discipline. unfortunately, this business doesn't surprise me at all.

Here's a list of some contacts:

Write to "Child Training Resources" directly -

Write to their webhost -

Write to the Consumer Product Safety Commission -

"20/20" news -

CNN - http://us.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form11b.html?1

That is really disturbing.

It seems a little contradictory to me, "our chastening instrument is perfectly suited for the loving correction of your children".... the LOVING CORRECTION?? The loving correction, IMO, is encouraging words or non-physical time-outs. I am sorry for any children who's parents buy into this beating-stick-loving-correction.

I saw that book before, to train up a child. Its really disturbing and I thought it was a joke.
