While doing some research on another "spanking case" (Robin Pagoria), I came upon something that I thought was very pertinent to post here. I realize that the book in question is not Michael Pearl's but it's very similar and has a similar audience. The open letter is from a survivor of this sort of "biblically-based discipline" and I believe her words to be very powerful. I think, for many of us, spanking might mean an occasional swat on the bottom. That's not what Michael Pearl or Roy Lessin is advocating at all. Not at all.

Scroll down to September 1, 2011 and read about Roy Lessin's book, "Spanking: Why, When, How?". Read the letter just under the photo of the book, "Dear Roy".
That's the sort of "loving" discipline thousands of children are subjected to daily....and some die. Like little Hana and Lydia.
