Reviews

The Supreme Court of Canada recently upheld a century-old law that allows parents, teachers and caregivers to spank children. For that reason, Something to Cry About takes on a whole new meaning. Well researched, the book documents evidence on the effects of spanking and other forms of corporal punishment on children....The Supreme Court of Canada's decision goes against everything Turner has uncovered. It's a decision that all citizens should be up in arms about. Write to your member of parliament and voice your opinion -- on behalf of those too tiny to do so themselves. In doing so, suggest they pick up a copy of Turner's book. When they read it, they'll be as outraged as you are.''--Danette Dooley
