The man’s 12-year-old daughter got into a heated argument with her sister on Monday, and the father wanted to discipline his daughter, according to a deputy’s report.
A deputy went over to his house, supervised the discipline, and determined it was within legal bounds and that there was no crime, and left. The sheriff’s office has received several similar requests in the past. Undersheriff Noel Stephen said he has personally supervised approximately 12 spankings.
“It happens,” Stephen said. “It’s definitely not something we advertise to do, and even though law enforcement has been willing to help out in this situation, watching a parent discipline their child is something that’s done only when a deputy has no other calls to handle.”

Why is it deemed acceptable to physically harm the most vulnerable members of society?
And what kind of father wants to spank his twelve year old daughter?
If he did this to an adult it would be a crime, so why is it alright to do it to a child?
I jumped into the middle of this article and a bit later I said to myself, "Whoa! Is this Florida?"
Of course it's Florida.

Sorry, but this comes across a pedophilic. If young girls are being spanked and strange adult men are coming to watch, then that is wrong, very wrong. If they are going to do it, then only female officers should attend when a girl is being spanked. Quite frankly, if my father did this to me at 12, I would have punched him and left.
spanking is just another word for child abuse -
