Chris Spiney, a father on the Supernanny spinoff show, Jo Frost: Nanny On Tour, was caught on camera accusing his son Marcus, 9, of using a cell phone charger without permission. Footage shows him removing his belt and going after his son and awful sounds of whipping were caught on camera. The alarming episode outraged fans so badly, that they started to send death threats to the father.

A father on Jo Frost: Nanny On Tour is now receiving death threats after his family’s episode aired Feb. 18 on the UP channel, according to TMZ. During the show, you see the dad getting mad at his young son for using his cellphone charger without permission. He asks the child to stand in front of him where he could reprimand him, but the child refuses. The father tells him to go upstairs to his bedroom and wait. We then see Chris stand up, pull his belt from his pants and head up the stairs. The pair then go into the bedding, even though the child clearly is scared for his life. Although the episode didn’t show the actual “whipping” you can hear the young boy screaming and crying behind the closed bedroom door. After the host of the show Jo Frost reviewed the footage, she report Chris to child service

1. I doubt anything will happen to him

It's against the law to hit an adult or an animal, but not children.

[Liberal_in_LA]

2. well... he's getting death threats and a public shaming.

3. Depends where you are.

It's explicitly illegal to corporally-punish your child in Connecticut. It carries a more-severe sentence than doing the same to an adult without their consent. (This differs from Massachusetts (where corporal-punishment is also illegal and severely-punished) where the law states you cannot consent to abuse...meant to make it easier to prosecute domestic violence, it has done more to criminalize consensual BDSM.)

4. I know of no state where corporal punishment is universally banned

I remember during the Adrian Peterson incident, it was pointed out that no US states outlaw corporal punishment in the home although many countries do. I'm pretty sure some states have outlawed the practice in public schools and Connecticut and/or Massachusetts may be one of those.

6. Didn't CA ban corporal punishment for kids under

Age five recently?

[Major Nikon]

8. I'd be interested to know if they did

[abelenkpe]

11. Tried googling it

Seems pretty vague. Thought for sure they had made it illegal but maybe not. Should be illegal though.

[Major Nikon]

13. I agree

It's not acceptable to hit a child.

[kcr]

16. I do not udnerstand how a parent can do that to a child

And I do not understand how people can defend it. It's sickening. People who defend it are monsters just like the parents who do it.

[abelenkpe]

18. Totally agree

My parents never hit me but witnessing them hit my brother and sister? It was so traumatic! I would never treat a person or a child that way. It sickens me knowing that my brother and sister condone that treatment today. We never talk though. One of many subjects we will never agree on.

9. They got it wrong in the AP incident then.

Corporal punishment is explicitly illegal in CT, classified as criminal child abuse, even in your own home. Has been since 2006. You can be charged with criminal child abuse for any act that meets the definition of "abuse" under CT statute.

CT General Statutes, Sec. 46b-120, article 7
A child or youth may be found “abused” who (A) has been inflicted with physical injury or injuries other than by accidental means, (B) has injuries that are at variance with the history given of them, or (C) is in a condition that is the result of maltreatment, including, but not limited to, malnutrition, sexual molestation or exploitation, deprivation of necessities, emotional maltreatment or cruel punishment

12. Your reference doesn't prove your assertion

It doesn't even reference corporal punishment. It simply says if you purposely injure a child, the child has been abused. Every state has standards of where the line is between corporal punishment and child abuse. I believe Delaware has the greatest restriction, but even there corporal punishment is technically legal so long as it doesn't cause pain.

17. Edit

Because I'm not sure where the story is taking place

[Chan790]

19. It defines any intentional injury as abuse.

People are prosecuted here for corporal punishment under that statute (both as injury and cruel punishment...that's the case law. Corporal punishment is adjudicated as being explicitly abusive under the first (injury by other than accidental means) and last (cruel punishment) clauses) and people who are obligated-reporters that don't call the police to report corporal punishment can be charged with a Class-A misdemeanor. That's how the law cited is interpreted, qua corporal punishment.

Precedent case law based from that statute proves the assertion.

[kcr]

22. This is why I think all spanking should just be flat out illegal

It defies logic to claim that any spanking doesn't cause pain or isn't intended to cause pain. Making it illegal across the board makes it objective and clear. Other countries do this and there's no reason we can't. It appears CPS ruled that there was no evidence of abuse. That is insane.

[kcr]

15. Even so, some states don't allow whipping with a belt

None of them should. Anyone who does so should be in jail.

5. Wow

My father use to do that to my younger brother. Only he'd make him drop his pants first and do it at the kitchen table making my sister and I watch. I hated him for that shit. My brother never deserved that. Crazy thing is if you asked my brother and sister would say they are OK with that kind of punishment. Makes me sick to even think about it. Definitely part of the reason I stay away from my family. 3000 miles helps a lot. Poor kid! I hope he never has to go through that again.

[Liberal_in_LA]

10. sickening.

7. The son has development challenges

Super Nanny, Jo Frost, trained the parents on how to work with their son. I watched this show and when the father initially started losing control, the mother who was lying on the couch, simply covered her head with a blanket. Jo offered further help and the parents declined, therefore she had to report it.

14. I started school at age 6

and got my ass paddled with a board at least twice a week sometimes more by various teachers from the first year on til 7th or 8th grade when I was expelled. My mother, whipped my hiney with a switch and a belt my whole childhood til about age 13 or 14. My brother too. That's just the way it was back in the sixties here in SC in my schools.

[Logical]

20. My choice for being late to class was a swat or a 7th hour after school....

Everyone always took the swat. Parents didn't hear about the swat but late home they knew something happened.
