I call bullshit, what is worse corporal punishment than getting whipped? i.e. before it becomes deadly or injures you severely?
WTF are you talking about, that is NOT GETTING WHIPPED THE WAY GOVERNMENTS DID IN THE PAST, not even fucken close, I got it 10 times harder then that, that was a wimpy beating.
Of course beating your children is horse shit and I do not think it is cool, this guy can get charged in most countries nowadays but that was a weak beating in comparison to other fathers that beat their children.
