Read MoreWhere Did Pearl Say This?
In this interview in the National Post, Pearl is quoted as saying: But, I have said many times, when a spanking is not working, stop doing it.

Read MoreThe Death Of Lydia Schatz on Wikipedia
I just found the Wikipedia article on the Death of Lydia Schatz. It seems to be factual. Interestingly, they link to this site. Only, they don’t link to any one post, but to page two of my blog. That doesn’t seem helpful at all, it must be an error. They also have an entry for…
