It just wasn't.
Child abuse?
He was/is a teacher.
It was state sanctioned punishment, which usually if not always required parental consent (did at my old school anyway).
What I can't believe is people implying that this guy deserved that level of beating, or indeed any beating.
You'd kind of hope that someone like Mr. Bullen might have just grown up and moved on.

You know what they say about assumption eh.
Not everybody who is, or has been violent has had a "violent upbringing/home-life". A lot have for for sure but it`s by no means definite . Regardless of the story in question there are so many things that can turn even the most placid of people violent.
Still though, i had the belt in Primary School although never as young as six.
I think many mums & dads would have probably went and gave him a skelp there & then if they knew that had happened to their six year old.
