I agree that this is a hot topic . . . there are so many ADULTS here that should be held responsible . . . IMO, the little girl's parents . . .

You know, when I was in elementary school (not too long ago) . . . we had RESPECT for our educators. Not just because we were taught this at home . . . but because we knew that there was a PADDLE in the top drawer of the desk at the front of the class.

As far as I can remember, the paddle didn't kill anyone . . . at least not in my school!
