“Any form of corporal punishment or 'spanking' is a violent attack upon another human being's integrity. The effect remains with the victim forever and becomes an unforgiving part of his or hier personality--a massive frustration resulting in a hostility which will seek expression in later life in violent acts towards others.

The child, especially, learns to become the kind of human being that he or she has experienced. This should be fully understood by all caregivers.” ShouldHumansKindChildrenFormHuman BeingsForeverEffectsExpressionPersonalityIntegrityBehaviorUnderstoodVictimRemainsPunishmentViolentFrustrationMassiveGentlenessHostilityUnforgivingSpankingCaregiversCorporal PunishmentViolent Acts Author:Ashley Montagu
