If this policy is accepted I think it would be unwise to refuse the application of the Managers, having regard to recent happenings, and if it is made clear that no corporal punishment on the posterior may be inflicted without the sanction of the Chief Inspector, frequent or improper recourse to this method will be prevented. It seems to me better to alter the rule rather than when serious trouble occurs to contemplate the possibility of the staff or the Inspector authorising punishment contrary to the rule. Perhaps we will have long ago dispensed with the zero sum mentality of I win/you lose and we will see the development of behaviour as a teaching and learning issue in the same way that we do with reading, say. Instead of expecting children to just ‘get’ how to behave, we will take a more developmental approach to enabling children to deal with real-life difficulties, such as conflict, anger, fear and failure. As the late Joe Bower said “Doing well is always more desirable than not doing well, so when a child is not doing well, it is likely that their environment is demanding skills they are lagging.” More work to be done

b) If in cases of grave breaches of discipline the Managers think it necessary to adopt any other form of corporal punishment the previous sanction of the Chief Inspector must be obtained. In a 1979 standoff that would become the stuff of fundamentalist folklore, Roloff declared his cause “the Christian Alamo,” organizing hundreds of supporters into barricades to keep state officials off his compound. The ensuing church-state battle outlived Roloff, who died in a plane crash in 1982. The home relocated to Missouri three years later, returning to Texas in 1998 after then-Gov. George W. Bush deregulated the activities of faith-based groups there.

(****, F/f, Severe, severe daughter strapping)

I did not go round the school as I feared the girls might again become unsettled if they thought an inspection was taking place. Miss Langley discussed some of her difficulties with me [...] After Word had been there for almost seven months, his “watch” escaped. Police normally returned runaways to the home, but the severity of the boy’s injuries led state officials to investigate. Rapier, who had continued running the school while free on bond in a 1981 child-abuse case (the charges were eventually dropped), sent the other boys away—some went home, some were placed at kindred facilities. School records, Dee Rapier told me, were shredded. Karen Glover, a Navy veteran who attended Indiana’s Roloff-inspired Hephzibah House as a girl, described what she calls “the bowel and bladder torture.” The girls were given bran, made to drink lots of water at breakfast, and then denied bathroom access until lunchtime. There was no apparent reason for this treatment, Glover says, save reminding the girls who was in charge. Dave Halyaman, assistant director of Hephzibah House, would not respond directly to Glover’s claims. Instead, he offered to put me in touch with two pastors who had daughters there. “We have our critics, but also people who think very well of us,” he said. Yes, there would have been a welcome and farewell whipping in the Spinnhaus, but not necessarily for all prisoners. I found these passages in a Prussian edict issued by Friedrich II (Doris's old maybe-lover) in 1772, forty years after Doris, which (unlike the laws in my previous post) did apply to the Brandenburg province, i.e. Potsdam, Berlin and Spandau.

She was terribly stern - she would go to the cupboard, get the cane and ask what I had done. I would say 'nothing miss'. We will have embraced much more widely the use of restorative practices that some schools have adopted as standard. We will consign to the history books the use of ineffective strategies as we realise, as we do now with corporal punishment, that it is merely the illusion of action. Finally, doing something, anything, because it sounds tough will be a thing of the past. What do the entries in Friends Reunited tell us about corporal punishment in UK schools in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s? Includes a "Top Fifty CP Schools" feature based on the number of mentions of CP for each school. Miss Langley showed me the letters the girls had written to their parents, in which they expressed themselves as being very unhappy and as having never before had "their clothes turned up" and a whipping given them on the seat. All these letters were burnt and Miss Langley undertook to tell the girls that they must write to their parents and say that they were going to be good in future, instead of harping on what had happened. I then saw Gladys Corbett alone, an older girl, who [...] was very bitter at first about the fact that Miss Langley whipped girls Es pflegt wohl auch der Landes Herr solche Strafe bißweilen in Vestungsbau zu verwandeln. Und zwar entweder beydes, oder nur die Landesverweisung nach ausgestandenem Staupenschlage."That’s what a civil rights lawyer wrote to Julia Lurie, the day after her major investigation into a psychiatric hospital chain that uses foster children as “cash cows” published, letting her know he was using her findings that same day in a hearing to keep a child out of one of the facilities we investigated. Thanks, Jon and elphas. Using the online index to the King's edicts is a bit like collecting clues to piece together a crime story.
