The 12 Tribes of Spanking

The first generation of converts within the cold community are trying to enforce that their kids cannot leave. Spanking is a common disciplinary method used within the 12 tribes, sometimes with resin-tipped whips. This is described in their 348 page child training manual. The manual states that children as young as six months old should be spanked for deviations from proper behavior. According to their teachings, children are inherently disobedient and must be disciplined to remove Satan's influence.
