Jason Klein Case - Perhaps there still is hope for child disipline afterall!

Last month a Newark Ohio man by the name of Jason Klein was tried for domestic violence after his 13 year old son's P.E. coach noticed bruises on the kid's backside. Klein had paddled the boy's behind with a wooden paddle (breadboard) after finding that the youngster had stolen liquor and got drunk with several other underage kids. The case went to a jury trial and Mr. Klein was aquitted much to the chagrine, I'm sure, of bleeding heart liberals everywhere.

Interestingly enough the local child protection agency had already completed an investigation into the allegations and dropped the case months prior to the charges being filed. Fortunately Mr. Klein was lucky enough to draw a jury with enough common sense to distinguish between disipline and abuse.

About now any left leaner reading this is thinking Klein should have used his bare hand to spank the kid (or give him a "time out" perhaps?). Oh yeah, did I mention the kid is 6'3" and 190 pounds? I'm sure some day the boy will thank his dad for quite possibly preventing him from being killed in a drunk driving accident or something equally senseless. It's called tough love and more folks need to try it.

Yes, perhaps there is hope for our society yet.
