I Got Spanked At Church

My church had a small room in the back. Not much more than a closet really. It contained a single chair. Misbehaved children were taken there for a spanking. I got dragged there once for making faces at a friend sitting in the pew behind us. Mom saw me and that was that.

Some churches have "cry rooms" with carpeted walls so parents can remove crying infants until they settle down, not disturbing the service in the meantime.

But some such cry rooms get put to dual use, as soundproofed, convenient places to bring older children for spankings.

Unfortunately, if a parent has a crying baby in one of those rooms, and another parent brings in a school-aged child and spanks them, the baby will probably end up howling even louder than before due to all the commotion.
