Prosecutors will dismiss the domestic violence assault charge in a year if there are no other charges against Phipps, who lives on Chebeague Island in Casco Bay.

Allison well knew that serious misbehavior always warranted a spanking, and she always cried, even at just the announcement of said punishment.There are other ways to raise children without using spanking and I do encourage people to check out resources about raising without spanking when it comes to raising real kids. Martha agreed to pick up their daughter and Jim said he would try to leave work early to deal with this situation. And, as it turns out, she is the only girl at university forced to endure good, long spankings over her father's knee. Once she was in position, Jim flipped up his daughter’s skirt and wasted no time in pulling down her panties. The Christian Science Monitor is an international news organization offering calm, thoughtful, award-winning coverage for independent thinkers.

So when I see a video like that, it’s almost instinctual for me to wonder if the father would hand out the same punishment if he were dealing with a 12-year-old boy instead of a girl. Vanessa tensed so hard her entire body quivered like an autumn leaf, sobbing incoherently in the new silence. Spanking is the easy way out of a problem and to a lazy parent it can appear to be solved, but is in fact replaced by another issue, much more serious and damaging for life.Thinking back, Jim had thought the worst thing he would need to do as a father was change his daughter’s dirty diapers, but alas those times quickly passed. I tried the usual strategies to fix this — reasoning with her, offering rewards for being in bed on time, threatening to take away toys or privileges for not going to bed. However, Vanessa still objects to her father's punitive methodologies just as much these days as she did during her teens.
