Corporal punishment is the first thing which pops up when you search for this so-called Christian boarding school for at-risk girls. It seems that there is no lower limit to how old the girls must be before they should be spanked. An old article suggest that the minister wants to be the one who spanks the newborn just after birth so it can be disciplined.
Anderson Cooper from CNN put spotlight on the program and it seems that they don’t spank the girls as much as before but the girls are kept from peers and family and it is safe to say that it is not fun to be there as a teenager.
