"What is this book? Well, it’s called To Train up a Child, and it encourages:
"Blanket training" babies by hitting them with an instrument if they try to crawl off a blanket on the floor
Giving cold water baths, putting children outside in cold weather and withholding meals as discipline
Inflicting punishment until a child is “without breath to complain.”
Using plastic tubing to beat children, since it hurts a lot but leaves fewer marks to alert authorities"
No human or animal should be treated this way.
Anyone that does is a laughable excuse for an empathetic human being.
The fact that you have to avoid letting "the authorities" know what you're doing should be a HUGE RED FLAG that something about this might be wrong.
Imagine you're sitting in the living room with your child and spouse.
Your year old baby is sitting on a blanket.
When they try to crawl off of it, your spouse hits them and sets them back in the middle of it.
Shocked and confused, your child sits there quivering in fear.
If they try to get off again,
your spouse hits them.
One day they may even accidentally kill that child.
They might tell the author.
The author would laugh.

Disgusting.
One of the many and probably less 'colorful" words I want to use to describe this heinous situation.
It must be stopped.
It will be stopped.
The author should be charged with the deaths caused by his books.
Allowing him any further luxuries in life is far too much.
"My granddaughters laugh with joy after giving their baby dolls a spanking for “being naughty” because they know their dolls will grow up to be the best mamas and daddies in the world—just like them."
No.
"Even my chickens are laughing . . . well, actually it more like cackling, because they just laid another organic egg for my breakfast and they know that it was that same piece of ¼ inch plastic supply line that trained the dogs not to eat chicken."
No.
"In his book, Michael Pearl suggests tempting a child with a bite of their favorite food ~ placing a morsel within the child’s reach ~ and when said child instinctively reaches out for the food ~ Switch their hand once and simultaneously say, ‘No.’ Repeat as many times as necessary until the child is trained not to automatically grab for whatever he or she wants ~ but rather, to automatically look to the parent for permission before reaching out to take the desired food."
NO.
No more.
Sign the petition and end the cruelty before another victim is claimed.
Before another little girl is beaten to death.
