A Visit to Miss Chadwick: a teen boy's initiation into spanking

Product Information

Soon, he started denying what was happening. As I tried to avoid him everytime he beat me, he would ask me why I wasn’t talking to him. In this context, my castration plan wasn't unreasonable. It was a practical way for me to serve my mission, to share a bedroom with other young missionaries, without betraying my sin to my church, my family, my friends, my neighborhood, the whole Mormon world at large.

Would he support a public inquiry now? "I have no objection to some sort of inquiry – whether a public inquiry would be justified, I don't know. It is troubling that Husband was able, apparently, to hide his offending over such a long period. However, and speaking after having had long experience of child abuse issues at Barnardo's, I am now very aware of the ability and success of such offenders in conditioning those around them." The Well-Being and Experiences (WE) Study is a longitudinal, intergenerational cohort study of the health and well-being of adolescents in Winnipeg, Manitoba and surrounding communities. Winnipeg is the largest city in the province of Manitoba with a population of approximately 753,700. The present study uses data collected at Wave 1 (baseline) from ( N = 1,000) adolescents (aged 14 to 17 years old) and parent/caregiver dyads between July 2017 and October 2018. Participants were recruited to participate through random digit dialing (21.0%), referrals (40.6%), and community advertisements (38.4%). Few differences in sample characteristics were noted based on method of recruitment [ 45]. Forward Sortation Area (first three digits) from postal codes, adolescent sex, household income, and ethnicity were monitored to ensure the sample was similar to the population from which it was drawn [ 46]. The adolescent and the parent/caregiver most knowledgeable about the selected adolescent (85% were birth, step-, or adoptive mothers; 13% were birth, step-, or adoptive fathers; 2% were other caregivers; hereafter referred to as “parents”) completed separate self-administered questionnaires at a research facility in private rooms. Parents could not review adolescent responses and vice versa. Adolescents and parents provided informed consent to participate in the study in accordance with the ethics approval that was provided from the Health Research Ethics Board at the University of Manitoba. Stata version 16.1 was used to analyze the data.
