Also, I always hear about people talking about how other people don't do a good job of raising their kids. These kids were submitted voluntarily by their parents, and now people are complaining that this is too harsh. There's no beating involved - just psychological domination in a controlled setting, which is all that's really allowed in the way of parenting anymore.
I swear it's impossible to do the "right thing" in this world. Everyone's got an opinion.
