Re: Criminal complaint released in the Lori/Timothy/Andrea Wick abuse scandal
Oh my goodness -- that is just stomach-turning. My youngest (well, youngest who's not in utero) is 27 months, and I can't even IMAGINE spanking him. I have several friends with babies who are around 9-11 months right now as well, and it's just positively unthinkable to imagine anyone hitting those sweet little ones with a stick.

Re: Criminal complaint released in the Lori/Timothy/Andrea Wick abuse scandal
they are persecuted to the fullest extent.
And...does anyone else find it painfully ironic that he graduated from Grace Theological Seminary? He has no concept... That poor little girl. |

Re: Criminal complaint released in the Lori/Timothy/Andrea Wick abuse scandal
I find this very disturbing.
Of course, I do not advocate parents hitting babies with wooden dowels. Not at all. But, what I find disconcerting is different than the disturbing reality that there are parents that use the rod for discipline. First, it sounds like the daughter of the author Lori Wick is the one charged, not the Author, am I reading that correctly? (I don't really know who Lori Wick is, and I don't care. ) Secondly, it looks like the sherrif's office was trying to build a case against the church for whatever reason. 450 pages of documentation against them? And all the references to the split? It sounds like a witch hunt for the person in charge of that church to me, with the person that was left behind leading it. I dunno. It all sounds "off" and a horrible precedent to set to me.

Re: Criminal complaint released in the Lori/Timothy/Andrea Wick abuse scandal
the son and daughter in law are being charged. The connection to Lori? Her money paid for the 'church', and the abuse occurred in her home
I don't care what motive is behind it, frankly - I'm really, really glad that hitting infants is being recognized as abuse ETA: My husband is a law enforcement officer. I assure you that the level of documentation required for any investigation is staggering - 450 pages isn't nearly 'witch hunt' level |

Re: Criminal complaint released in the Lori/Timothy/Andrea Wick abuse scandal
From what I gathered, this type of "discipline" is taught & actively promoted by the leader who took over after the split, which is why there is investigation into the church.

Re: Criminal complaint released in the Lori/Timothy/Andrea Wick abuse scandal
Quote:
And then there are those who believe they're being persecuted for standing up for the Biblical way of parenting, persecuted by a world hostile to the Word. "If spanking is against the law, then I'll go to jail!" Yes, that I've heard. That's a hill they're willing to die on. A hill made up of a precious few poetic verses that they've never even bothered to read in the original language or study the meaning of in context of the original language! Ack!!

One of the things I hope that will come from spanking being prosecuted, is that christian parents will start following the law of the land in regard to how they choose to discipline. |

"Ah, but not if that law contradicts God's Word. Better to obey God than man and all." The only thing with that is, it's kinda' important to actually know God's Word on a matter before they start throwing that about! The whole teaching on spanking young children and infants is based, not just on a faulty interpretation of the Word (b/c that could be debatable or easily dismissed if one just didn't agree with someone else's interpretation). It's based on plain old misunderstanding of the Word b/c it's taught over and over in the English with no mention of what the actual, literal interpretation of the words even are. Those who insist on taking the Word literally instead of figuratively don't even do it b/c they don't even know what it says literally! *sigh*

Re: Criminal complaint released in the Lori/Timothy/Andrea Wick abuse scandal
That just makes my heart so sad. When the father stated that physical punishment can begin as early as 3 months old...ugh. We have a friend whose babies just reached three months of age. I cannot even begin to imagine striking such small, new babies simply for crying.

Re: Criminal complaint released in the Lori/Timothy/Andrea Wick abuse scandal
I think that gpsings makes a very good point. Even if spanking is not banned out right making it taboo, would cause people to think twice. I grew up in the rural South were it is perfectly acceptable to spank. I even heard spank if you love from the pulpit. I had a real ah ha moment when I realized that the only reason I was going to spank is because I that is what I thought I was commanded to do by God. I did not want to do it and was praying that God would give me the courage to do it. Because it had a Christian wrapper, I was going to do something I found sickening. I really think that is why most Christians spank. They really do not want to do it, but they have heard most if not all of their lives that if you do not, then you do not love your kids and have damned them to death and destruction.
Unfortunately, Myrtle is right. There are always going to be people who think spanking is mandatory and would rather go to prison, then disobey. But if it is not as acceptable, then that number will be far fewer. At least that is my hope. As sad as I am for those babies, if it causes a serious look at what these so called gurus are saying then it was not in vain.
