ACLU reviews allegation of spanking by juvenile officer, who did so at mom’s request
An allegation of spanking by a juvenile probation officer has been called an isolated incident that will not happen again.
It was recently reported in the Arkansas Times that the Arkansas Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union was looking into allegations that juvenile probation officer William Hall had spanked probationers with a belt and wooden paddle. There were also allegations that Hall had threatened juveniles with physical punishment in court, and had bullied parents into signing consent forms to allow spanking.
