Dad Ordered to Spank Son 'Pink Red'
Akron, Ohio, An 18-year old youth has been sentenced to a spanking with an ping pong paddle until his seat is pink red.
James Phelps appeared Wednesday before Common Pleas Judge Walter B. Wanamaker and pleaded guilty to a charge of breaking and entering and stealing $200 in cash.
The judge asked the youth how long it had been since his father had administered a spanking.
The boy replied, "I don't remember," but his father, who was also in court, said it had been about five years. The judge told the elder Phelps:
"You can't cultivate a farm if you don't take the weeds out, and you can't cultivate a child without inculcating respect. Do you think you could give him a spanking? You are not much bigger than he is."
The boy's father guaranteed the judge he could and would.
