    Traumatizing a 10 year old kid is a great use of resources. I bet they try to claim it’s a teachable moment…

      "Spare the rod, spoil the child." Is typically the justification of it, which itself rather ironically enough is an offshoot of a bible verse. Proverbs 13:24 to be exact. Which at that point you're at dealing with decades to centuries of deep rooting with this line of thought.
