In Sweden corporal punishment is illegal in the *home* as well
as the school, and the child abuse rates there are very low.
/* End of text from convexs:net.kids */


Well, now, since "child abuse" (in the context of this discussion) is 
the "discovered" [physical] abuse of a minor, child abuse rates _would_
be low there.  Public [social] pressure would keep anyone from talking 
about it.  The rates would also be _very_ low in a country that made 
beating a child in public legal...

Logic, ain't it grand?
