Abuse in Madrassahs

Just seen this via butterflies and wheels.

The mother said police had told her that her son's teacher had punched him in the stomach and "slapped his face, and hit his hands with a pencil".

"And he made him stand like a chicken. If he fell down, after five minutes my boy said he made him do another five minutes."

The stress position her son was forced to adopt is a torture tactic used in war zones.

Corporal punishment has been banned in mainstream schools since the 1980s.

However, madrassas are classed as supplementary schools where it is still legal in religious settings as long as it does not exceed "reasonable chastisement".

The schools are unregulated and teachers often have no training.

Well speaking as an outsider I would say that a bit of physical violence is a very direct and effective method of communication.

Show me the mullah who did that to the boy. I'll show him what it feels to be on the receiving end of physical abuse.

I'm sorry if that sounds violent but I have ZERO tolerance for people who abuse children.

In my opinion a life without curiosity is not a life worth living
