TV news-anchor Sarah Hathaway's teenage daughter is killed in a mass school shooting. Like any parent, she is determined to find out why a 16-year-old boy would take an assault rifle and murder his friends and classmates. She knows more gun control cannot be the only answer.In a surprising move, the District Attorney charges the shooter’s parents with criminal negligence – for allowing their son unfettered access to the M16 – and as accomplices to the murders.Sarah finds the answers she is looking for during the parents' trial: irrefutable proof that suffering corporal punishment as a child is the common denominator in the upbringing of violent criminals. Fifty-six countries around the world, therefore, have outlawed corporal punishment by parents in the home, but sadly the United States is not one of them. Sarah is astonished to learn that nineteen states still allow corporal punishment in schools!Sarah creates Mothers Against Corporal Punishment to lead the fight to outlaw corporal punishment in schools and in the homes. The movement is just experiencing some success and gathering real momentum when tragedy strikes.This novella is a “must-read” for anyone who wants to find a solution to our unrelenting, catastrophic school shootings.
