Seriously? How twisted and sick do you have to be to "spank" an infant? A prime example of an archaic and irrelevant ideology tying to cling to life in a world where they are no longer viable or necessary. Thank you Michael and Debi Pearl!!
What is sad, the parents in these types of cases are just tools; instruments in the hands of their preacher folk. How is it that these wo/men of the cloth escape prosecution? Are they not part of a conspiracy?

A couple who spanked their young children on their bare bottoms with wooden dowels in keeping with the teachings of the church they belonged to were convicted Friday night of child abuse, the last of eight people connected to the church charged with abuse.
Matthew Caminiti, 29, was convicted of four of the five counts of child abuse he faced, while his wife, Alina Caminiti, 27, of Black Earth, was convicted of all three counts she faced after a weeklong jury trial in Dane County Circuit Court.
Matthew Caminiti is the son of Philip Caminiti, who led the Aleitheia Bible Church in Black Earth, where parents were taught to strike their children, including infants, on their bare buttocks with wooden dowels to teach them to behave correctly. Sheriff’s deputies arrested several members of the church in November 2010.

In the case against Matthew and Alina Caminiti, prosecutors alleged they hit their two children first with a wooden spoon and with a dowel when they were as young as 6 weeks old.
Matthew Caminiti admitted that he used a dowel and that it was supposed to be painful to the children, Assistant District Attorney Greg Venker said during opening statements. Alina Caminiti said they did it when the children were not listening, not being quiet or were getting mad, Venker said.
