I don't know the full story(such as what started this, or if the Mother was really forced to watch).
From what I got from the article was she was forced to watch and the school said either she goes to jail or the kid gets spanked. I'm confused on how the 2 are related. If it's from the kid missing school...that's on her and the kid should not punished. If he did something wrong, why would she go to jail?
Personally, I believe parents should have say so over if kids get punished. The kid appears to be 5-7.
I would be suing the school myself if the mother didn't want her kid spanked.
