If we are ever to turn toward a kindlier society and a safer world, a revulsion against the physical punishment of children
would be a good place to start.
-Dr. Spock

"The greatest terror a child can have is that he is not loved, and rejection is the hell he fears. I think everyone in the world to a large or small extent has felt rejection. And with rejection comes anger, and with anger some kind of crime in revenge for the rejection, and with the crime guilt — and there is the story of mankind." John Steinbeck, East of Eden, 1952

"There never was a time when a major social problem was solved by beating a child. And there never will be such a time... For centuries adults have injured children and have lied about it, and other adults have heard those lies and then merely turned away," Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop, 1989."
