23. No posts harshly dissecting parenting moments of others since we desire to humbly cultivate a heart attitude of grace and not judgment towards other mamas. We all struggle at times as parents and have much to learn, and GCM's focus is to provide tools and information for each of us to parent more effectively. Posts voicing some frustration regarding choices made by others can be okay, but it needs to be within the overall context of seeking understanding or ideas for better responses in the future.

Thank you for posting this story. I won't be supporting Lori Wick any more. Well, I don't usuLly buy books anyway, but I won't be borrowing herbooks from the library anymore either. That is just so sad what has happened to those children. They are just babies

I am sick to my stomach. God pour tenderest mercy on those poor children and lift the veil of deception in the minds of the adults. That is horrible.

that is just so heartbreaking.

Oddly, what I found the worst was that the father would read the Moses story and then leave his daughter alone when it was too sad for her.

That she tried to comfort her father so he did not get a spanking is one of the saddest things I have ever read.

That poor baby girl. I have a naive question to ask though...why are they able to to charge this couple? So many Christians spank starting a little before a year and no charges are made so why is it possible in this case?

That's what is so ground-breaking about this, and why I'm praying so hard that it's successfully prosecuted It's setting case precedent to legally protect children

You are a much better person than I. While you are praying for them to have the veil of deception lifted I'm wanting to take a rod to them myself.

Default Re: Criminal complaint released in the Lori/Timothy/Andrea Wick abuse scandal

The thing that has been so shocking to me in all this is how open all the members are being about spanking babies with rods - I mean, they seem to have *no idea* how it is perceived by others, no idea that most people consider that abuse . I just don't get it - I mean, even the Pearls & co. understand how that sort of thing is perceived by "outsiders" , and advise that you are careful amongst people "who don't understand (so-called) godly discipline" . But everything I've seen from this case indicates that the people charged have been amazingly open about what they do, with no apparent recognition that anyone would have a problem with it .
