LETTERS: Spanking poll results were scary

Dear Editor I am astonished at the results of the polling for the question, “Should spanking children be illegal?” Hitting anyone of any age is assault, so I cannot believe that you claim 81 per cent believe spanking should be anything other than ill

Dear Editor

I am astonished at the results of the polling for the question, “Should spanking children be illegal?” Hitting anyone of any age is assault, so I cannot believe that you claim 81 per cent believe spanking should be anything other than illegal.

Instead, I think your results have been artificially skewed by multiple votes from one individual or mass votes from some perverse religious group. If, in fact, the results truly represent the views of citizens of New Westminster, they scare me enough that I would have to consider leaving the city. Please tell me it’s not true!
