Dad calls police to supervise spanking of 12-year-old daughter

OKEECHOBEE, Fla. — A Florida man is getting some attention after how he handled a fight between his young daughters.
He called police to have an officer watch him carry out the discipline.

According to WLWT, the father called police when his 12-year-old daughter got into an argument with her sister. After he called police, a deputy came to their home, watched the discipline and determined the father did not break the law in any way.

Deputy Noel Stephen told WLWT he has supervised 12 spankings. He emphasized that it’s something police only do when they have no other calls.

I don't blame the father at all. Being as Wes is about to be 13 there's be times I've wanted to call an exorcist.

Dad calling the police was far better than one of the daughters making a vindictive report -- or a neighbor.

A parent can never be too careful. I would have never thought of doing that one however. Finding a way to discipline that teaches a lesson is far better, but sometimes a good swat on the rear is necessary regardless of what some think.

It's amazing what can be done to a parent if child services gets involved. My daughter years ago went to school with some nasty scratches across her jaw. I got blamed for it even though not one of my kids said I did it. The daughter with the scratches didn't even know how she got them. She had on her coat and hat when I took her to school. Despite my efforts to exonerate myself, I ended up on the child abuse register. I was absolutely devastated. Years later I found out her sister had gotten mad at her during a fight that morning and scratched her.
