On Christianity, Fundamentalism, Spanking, And What Constitutes Child Abuse

All of these conclusions seem to have implications for children
placed in a fundamentalist Christian environment. Associated Content, in
a May 2007 posting, The Effects of the "No Spanking Law" on Child Abuse
in Sweden, discusses a law passed in Sweden in the 1970's that made
spanking a civil offence. Before the law, the family violence child
death rate in 1970 was 18%. In recent years it has been 0%. By 1981,
only 26% of Swedish parents supported spanking. Now it is less than 11%.
In 1996, there were 57 reported cases of child abuse per 100,000 people.
At the same time in the US that figure stood at 4,500/100,000.
