from Great Article Wednesday, October 17, 2007 - 22:16 (Agree/Disagree?) Thank you for taking the trouble to write this, as well as the response to the JC Chancellor response, which kind of read as shaking with self-defensiveness. Interestingly, he was provoked to describe The Family and certain Family actions in frank terms he never, ever used in his book. (reply to this comment)

You might also be interested in my blog which you can access through the RISE site at http://www.riseinternationalcic.org/ or directly at http://religiouschildabuse.blogspot.com/ I've just added a link to an interesting website called Children Are Unbeatable http://www.childrenareunbeatable.org.uk/ On that site there is this news item: UN says "No more excuses": equal protection by 2009 News posted 2006 The report of the United Nations Secretary-General's Study on Violence against Children has called on all countries to prohibit all corporal punishment in the family, at school and everywhere else by 2009. Submitted to the UN General Assembly on Wednesday 11 October 2006, the report prepared by Professor Paulo Pinheiro who headed up the four-year study notes: "In every region, in contradiction to human rights obligations and children's developmental needs, violence against children is socially approved, and is frequently legal and State-authorized." The report continues: "The Study should mark a turning point - an end to adult justification of violence against children, whether accepted as 'tradition' or disguised as 'discipline'. There can be no compromise in challenging violence against children. Children's uniqueness - their potential and vulnerability, their dependence on adults - makes it imperative that they have more, not less, protection from violence... "...The core message of the Study is that no violence against children is justifiable; all violence against children is preventable. There should be no more excuses. Member States must act now with urgency to fulfil their human rights obligations and other commitments to ensure protection from all forms of violence." (reply to this comment)
