A Good Spanking!

[Rapier]

A good spanking would have saved 3 little boys lives in Camden, NJ. The boys died after they became trapped in an abandoned(?) car. The media said one of the boys was known to play in cars. Had an impression been made, a lot tears shed, I'm certain all three boys would be alive today.

:rolleyes: What a ridiculous comparison. I am not saying I have anything against spanking a child but the idea that it would have saved them is ludicrous.

Harumph!! Listen to you. If a kid brings up that he ain't gonna do something because his parents did and will beat the crap out of him, two things will happen. One, none of the kids will "play in the trunk" or two of them will and the other can go get help. Another thing the two friends will have known about the whupping and will think twice themselves about the consequences of playing in a car.

You don't have to beat the hell out of a kid to make him think he has had the hell beaten out of him. A lot of hollaring, angry posturing and stinging smacks can make the impression just fine. Of course the only time this is needed is when he endangers himself and/or someone else.

I curse because three boys died needlsy mostly out of mistakes of the local police and lack of media attention...I said the same thing to Gintaris who seems to share your views on several issues....

and for the record I am pretty sure these kids got their share of "good spankings". corporal punishment is prevelent in poor families and beleive me many many many poor Latino families spank their children.. because they were spanked often..I was spanked as a child and so was my husband... . its a cultural thing my family has tried and broken the cycle on. with our own children.. who happen to be well behaved and academically superior without lifting a hand to them...

That's just ludicrulous!

The good news is that now parents can point to the news accounts of the story and say "see what happens when you play in trunks" and won't have to beat their kids.

:D

The news, TV or newspaper, always keeps the grade school kids on their toes. :eek:

Here since most of you don't like to click on links or can't stand the truth I will cut and paste the article for ya.. It is clearly as much (more) fault of the parents in this case than is of the police.. The parents not only waited 3 hrs to report them missing, but also failed to tell the police that one of the dead boys has played in the truck before.. People are always quick to put the blame on the authorities.

CAMDEN, N.J. - Police failed to follow proper procedures as they searched for three missing boys, neglecting a national group's recommendations to immediately look in enclosed spaces such as car trunks, a report released Tuesday said.

The report also faulted parents of the children for waiting three hours to call police, and for not disclosing during the massive search that one of the boys had previously played in the trunk of the car that was parked in the yard where they had been last seen.

Anibal Cruz, 11; Daniel Agosto, 6; and Jesstin Pagan, 5, were found dead in the car's trunk after two days of fruitless searching after they vanished June 22 from the yard of the Cruz home. An autopsy concluded they were alive for hours while the search continued.

"There's enough blame to go around — the city, the police and the family," said Camden County Prosecutor Vincent P. Sarubbi.

Parents of the boys and their attorneys were given the report Tuesday morning; it was then released publicly.

Camden police never adopted search procedures recommended in 1998 by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the report said. That advice states that, in cases of missing children, police should immediately search confined spaces such as refrigerators and car trunks.

Search dogs should have been used sooner
By the day after the boys vanished, 150 law enforcement officials were using boats, helicopters and search dogs in a vain attempt to find them. But the report said officials should have brought the dogs in sooner.

The bodies were discovered when a relative looking for jumper cables opened the trunk of a disabled Toyota Camry next to the Cruz home. An autopsy ruled the boys suffocated, dying between 13 and 33 hours after climbing into the car.

Peter M. Villari, attorney for one of the boy's mothers, said the report did not give a good explanation of why the car trunk was not examined.

"The police should have searched the trunk within an hour of getting there, but the parents should have searched there, too," said Villari.

The report did not blame any officers for failing to search the car. However, the document stated that, based on law enforcement documents, police and parents said five different times during the search that the car had been searched, even though that was incorrect.

Officers banged on trunk, did not open it
Two officers apparently came very close. At about 3 a.m. June 23, about 10 hours after the boys disappeared, they banged on the trunk of the car and loudly called the boys' names but heard no response, the report stated.

Sarubbi said the medical examiner believes the boys did not answer because they already had lapsed into unconsciousness after falling asleep. The report states the boys did not struggle while in the trunk.

The boys apparently climbed into the trunk through the car's passenger compartment, moving items such as a tire iron and car jack into the compartment and leaving their shoes there as well, according to the report.

The report was not designed to blame a particular person, Sarubbi said, and he hoped its findings would be a catalyst for change in future missing persons cases.

[Golly! Lolly!]

A good spanking would have saved 3 little boys lives .... Had an impression been made, a lot tears shed, I'm certain all three boys would be alive today.

… and then they’d have grown up and begun abusing their own children, slapping their wives, kicking the dog (which shouldn’t be kept in a house in the first place) and blaming everyone else for their mistakes.

Furthermore, had they been given regular spankings and perished in that automobile anyway, then the parents would now be grieving even more for all the gentle kindness they wish they’d have shown their children while they were still alive.

Dear Dumb Broad,

Your remark is the classic form of those who have nothing to say in rebuttal. You may not even have the enlightend intelligence to be embarrased at the innate cowardice you dispalyed. :rolleyes:

I was raised by a father who believed in not sparing the rod, ie the belt. :mad: It made me lose all respect for him, and in time I grew to despise, as well as fear, him. How lovely (read: sarcasm) for a 6 yr old girl to wish daddy would die and so not come back. :(

Had he asked me, i'd have done nearly anything to please him.

Several years ago, (an excuse for) a man told he was going to 'straighten me out w/ a good spanking'. i broke 3 of his fingers. Ah, precious memoires, how they linger. I learned that men can be sopranos. :D

My man is too much of a man, and too normal to even consider such a thing. 14 years younger, virile, and a looker...yummy. :) & :p
