Another couple found guilty of murder for parenting by “To Train Up a Child”
Two parents in Washington state have been found guilty of murder after following the abusive parenting techniques advocated in the parenting book “To Train Up a Child”MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING
Some of the discipline techniques the Pearls teach include:
- Using plastic tubing to beat children, since it hurts a lot but leaves fewer marks to alert authorities
- Wearing the plastic tubing around the parent’s neck as a constant reminder to obey
- “Swatting” babies as young as six months old with instruments such as “a 12-inch willowy branch,” thinner plastic tubing or a wooden spoon
- “Blanket training” babies by hitting them with an instrument if they try to crawl off a blanket on the floor
- Beating older children with rulers, paddles, belts and larger tree branches
- “Training” children with pain before they even disobey, in order to teach total obedience
- Giving cold water baths, putting children outside in cold weather and withholding meals as discipline
- Hosing off children who have potty training accidents
- Inflicting punishment until a child is “without breath to complain.”
Please sign the petition in the article for Amazon to stop carrying books that advocate for child abuse and torture and signal boost. They need several thousand more signatures.
WHAT THE FUCK.
The author of the book should be burned to death
I’ll get the gasoline
My parents had this book. They used glue gun sticks instead of tubing or branches. The first time I saw glue stick in an art class (at about 6 years old), I got scared, because I didn’t know they had any use other than punishment.
Please, please, please sign the petition and add a comment on WHY this book should be treated as an exception! This isn’t about censorship, this is about removing a product from the market that has directly caused the deaths of nearly half a dozen children already.
If this book is sold online anywhere, leave negative reviews with links to articles reporting the deaths of these kids. Gonna do that now myself
It has two and a half star reviews on Amazon, with a few five star reviews claiming it’s nothing like the abuse described. Be sure to take snippets from the book and share it with your review so that people are not mislead.
