Outrage over Georgia student's paddling/spanking?

So Mom gives permission for paddling (I believe by written consent, as required by Georgia law) and was given the choice for the kid to be suspended or paddled. Runs to social media to cry about the "tragic incident" and has people in a tizzy.
What gives? The Mom is alleging she would've "been arrested" if she allowed the suspension instead. Come to find out that's because her elementary aged child is a habitual truant with over 18+ unexcused absences and excessive tardiness. And the truancy court forewarned her that additional unexcused absences would result in a charge against her (suspension=unexcused absences). And yet there are people legitimately defending this criminally neglectful bitch?
Some bits y'all will just love:
He was hitting and spitting on other students BTW.
Just more of the same. And of course when he gets older, is never at school, and a teacher's job is on the line for not making him a "proficient student" all we'll hear about is how it's the "system" that failed him.

“He’s 5. He’s not the best child,” Perez said. “He’s probably worse than some other people’s children. It’s not the way we’re raising him. We haven’t raised him to be bad.” The Jasper County School District, about 50 miles southeast of Atlanta, says it’s aware of the video but can’t comment on this case, but said children are paddled only with parental consent.
He was hitting and spitting on other students BTW.
quote:
Jasper County Sheriff Donnie Pope said he watched the video and said there is nothing illegal. “There was no criminal activity that took place,” Pope said. “What we confirmed is there was permission. There was consent given by the parent to discipline the child, and the school board has a policy for corporal punishment, and everything was followed.”
Just more of the same. And of course when he gets older, is never at school, and a teacher's job is on the line for not making him a "proficient student" all we'll hear about is how it's the "system" that failed him.

Facebook doesn't equal outrage. And stop telling us what's on your Facebook timeline. Most dudes don't have one so we don't have to hear shite like this.

And multiple other outlets that are now discussing the "validity" of Georgia's paddling law as a result.
Sorry for reading the internet I guess.
ETA: Glad to see you're still salty as frick over my comments in your pot thread. Pussy.

I'm guessing what makes this non-story a story is that the kid is black and the spanker is white?

I saw it on TV. Three separate times.

I believe all parties involved are of the caucasian persuasion.
The sad thing is that it's another knock on school discipline when, especially given the Mom's just stellar record for ensuring her kid is on point, the lack of school discipline is maybe one of the consistently biggest issues in the public school system across the board.

didn't even realize you started the thread until you pointed it out. Could be because I post from my phone. Could also be because most people tend to not notice you. You know what they say, it's usually a little of both. 
Now that I know this was posted by someone who can't be trusted, please show me where anybody but the mother is actually outraged.

I got paddled in high school. That was like 10 years ago. Pulled the fire alarm. I deserved it.

And yet, you're still posting in this thread.
Thanks for noticing.

They got rid of paddling here after my kindergarten year.
It's continue to devolve into getting rid of expulsions, getting rid of zero tolerance policies, etc. And targeting the "achievement gap" by reducing as much discipline as possible for groups who are not meeting standards.

Going off the suspensions mentioned earlier, this sounds like what she heard and not what he actually said.

and told the boy's mother that if she tried to intervene he would be suspended and she would go to jail, the boy's mom said.

She wasn't going to be arrested for the act of not allowing her child to be paddled but she initially tried to portray it as such (in the Associated Press article in the OP). The NBC article I linked gives more detail:
She 100% deserves to be cited or arrested for pretty clear educational neglect. Having dealt with tons of kids with truancy issues, it takes quite a bit to be arrested for it. Twice. Most states intervene with multiple letters, home visits, counseling interventions/parenting classes, court room fines, etc before the point of arrest.
Basically, she still had the option to stop the paddling but she can only blame herself that she felt like she couldn't stop it. There shouldn't be a debate over paddling because of this particular case IMO.
quote:
She told the station that those administrators — citing her son's poor attendance record — already had her arrested for truancy, and that when Wednesday's dispute erupted she was out of jail on bond. She feared that if her son missed another day her bond would be revoked.
"They told me if he could not get a paddling he would have to be suspended and if he got suspended for even one day I WILL go to jail for truancy," she wrote in the Facebook post. "I could not go to jail or my kids would have nothing."

Yup. She's minipulative. Hope better comes for the kiddos.

I hope you weren't thinking of ignoring this. From now on your stories have to be vetted on account of your intuition to exaggerate and lie so people will like you and your stories.
Just trying to keep your threads honest.

You can Google, I'm not doing your work for you because you have some complex about me now.
ETA: And you're following me around to other boards too? Wow. You really are insecure.

If you're referring to the other thread we're posting in right now, maybe you should look at who posted first in that thread. Now who's following who?

I did, and once again, true to form, you're being shown to be an exaggerater in hopes that people will like what you're saying more.
Nobody but the mom is outraged in your story. Since everyone can clearly see she's the actual problem, I'm wondering what the point of posting this was.

I didn't reply to you and honestly didn't see your post. So you're staking claim on threads now?
Maybe you do need to go smoke another bowl with your high strung arse.

No just pointing out that once again nothing you say can be trusted. You claimed I followed you to another thread on another board despite the fact I had already been posting in that thread since before you had arrived. Just trying to keep score of your falsehoods. It isn't easy.

Apparently you're poor at Google.
"Viral video reignites paddling debate"
NBCNews.com: Georgia School Paddling Case Highlights Continued Use of Corporal Punishment
quote:
A Georgia mother's outrage-inducing video of a school principal paddling her 5-year-old son sheds light on America's enduring — but slowly fading — affinity for corporal punishment. A majority of parents say they approve of spanking kids, although their numbers are declining, public opinion polls show. Most states have banned it at school. And yet 19 states, primarily in the South and West, still allow it: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wyoming.
quote:
An advocacy group called the National Child Protection Center has proclaimed April 30 "Spank Out Day." It's meant to encourage alternatives to corporal punishment.
AL.com: Paddling in schools: Which states allow it; can you opt your child out?
quote:
A new debate over corporal punishment in public schools has been brewing since a video of a Georgia 6-year-old being paddled went viral. The video below, shows Shana Perez’s son begin taken to the principal’s office in Covington, Ga., to be paddled after he spit on another child. Perez said she did not want her son paddled by the principal, but was told that her son would be suspended if he was not paddled and that she would be arrested if son missed school. Perez had been arrested two weeks before because her son had missed 18 days of school.
If you honestly think some idiots won't try to go after Georgia's paddling law over this, I'm not sure what to tell you. The debate is definitely out there and it's not just me or the Mom.
