| This facility used corporal punishment |
Some staff at the facility was on child for child abuse but they were aquitted [1].
At their trial this week, Jeff Shaw acknowledged using paddling and light kicks to correct behavior among the troubled students at the academy. But there was no intent to harm kids and the punishment was never harsh enough to be cruel, which is what the law prohibits, the defense argued.
