| I was referred to your 'spanking' page due to the appearance of it being a fair and balanced treatise of the subject. The supposed 'research' conducted on Sweden's 'failed' ban on spanking is highly flawed and has never been deemed worthy of publication in a peer-reviewed journal. It's (internet) shelf-life stems mainly from pro-spanking conservative Christian web sites. | |||

| (Because of Sweden's success in reducing rates of Child Abuse, we are now up to 23 countries that have followed Sweden's lead by instituting their own bans on spanking... with more in the process of following suit.) | |||
