I don't know, but I do know that I received a vicious email from someone who thinks that any corporal punishment of children is wrong. I do not think that any corporal punishment of children is wrong. Many kids need nothing but the parents disapproval and taking away privileges, but not all kids are cut from the same cloth and you have a better chance of directing them without a smack on the bottom if they arrive as babies...in my opinion.
I have heard that Chief Tucker and his wife adopted children who were not infants and who had problems due to their sad beginnings. Like all parents, that puts them in charge of them and makes them responsible to keep them from doing things that would harm themselves and others. This kid is a teen. If anyone has raised teens they know that some can be very defiant and very physical and very WRONG.
I think that Chief Tucker has done what he thinks best for the community he served with such honor.
