THE SEXUAL DANGERS OF SPANKING CHILDREN
Cookie O'Kelley, another board member, also is angry over the police action.
"It was ludicrous," she said. "It makes absolutely no sense."
Rice and O'Kelley are defense witnesses for Wetton in his upcoming trial.
O'Kelley, Rice and other parents say they enrolled their children at the academy because
they wanted stricter discipline and higher academic standards than public schools provide.
Parents must sign a release acknowledging paddling is part of the discipline.
"The Bible says to use the rod," Rice said, adding that the arrest "is an assault on Christian
beliefs."...
As part of the orientation, Wetton reportedly took the girl to a room alone and told her to
take off her clothes. Crying, she removed everything but her bra and panties. Wetton then
struck her once with a wooden paddle. Wetton then reportedly forced the girl to disrobe
completely, made her kneel as if in prayer and struck her across the buttocks. Then, police
say, he forced her to grab the edge of a table, spread her legs and submit to another swat.
Finally, he made her bow down to him and recite the Lord's Prayer.
PTAVE Reports (Australia, 11/83)
BRITAIN -- We reported last month that Colin West, Headmaster of the Lower School, St.
Aiden's, Carlisle, would be retried on charges of indecently assaulting girl pupils. The
Crown alleges that Mr. West spanked girls, ages 11 to 14, on their bare buttocks with a shoe
and then rubbed their buttocks with antiseptic cream... The court heard in March, 1982, two
girls were called to West's office because they were not wearing full uniform. West told one
to go back to class, but detained the other. She told the court the following: "He dragged me
into his office and slammed the door behind him and said, 'I'm going to teach you a lesson.'
Then he slapped me across the face. I started crying. He pushed me by the throat and I fell
back against the bookcase. He pulled me by the arm and pulled me over his knee. He was
kneeling on the floor. He pulled my skirt up and hit me about twice. Then he pulled my
knickers down. He hit me across my bare bottom. He kept hitting me until I said I'm telling
my mum and dad about you. He put his hands on my shoulders and said, 'I love you more
than any other kid in this school. You need not tell your mum what happened.' "
A letter read on BBC Radio 4's "Any Answers?" (4/84)
"My partner is a retired headmaster of a prep school where he had the power to beat any
small boy. He now spends a great deal of time and energy in contacting young men and
women who are willing to be beaten, as this is the only way he can get sexually aroused."
