Okay, allowing the child to live in such terrible conditions as mentioned in the article is unacceptable. However, I disagree with the notion that these camps all deserve to be banned.

I have absolutely no problem with corporal punishment - I even campaigned for the adoption of it (senior year in HS with a Forensics presentation). To add a quote in here:
Lawrence Diller, PhD, a studying pediatrician stated “Once paddled, most kids were not repeat offenders. In fact, it really wasn't the paddling that was the issue – principals didn't paddle to hurt, they paddled to embarrass. What the issue was about was respect – respect for the teacher, respect for the other students who are trying to learn something and even self-respect.”
Listen, I'm not advocating beating the hell out of the kids, but good, old-fashioned paddling and embarassment is what this pathetic, pussified generation needs. My generation is too soft, too lazy, and not nearly respectful enough of the rules.
