B.C. mom and dad convicted of assault for spanking 14-year-old girl for sexting
SALMON ARM , B.C. — A British Columbia mother and father who used a plastic hockey stick and a skipping rope to spank their 14-year-old daughter have been found guilty of assault with a weapon.
A provincial court heard the couple from Salmon Arm, B.C., wanted to punish their daughter for sending nude photos to a young man over the Internet and instead of being grounded, the teen chose the spanking.
Her father used a mini hockey stick two or three times on his daughter’s buttocks over her pyjama pants and when her mother came home, she delivered a similar punishment with a skipping rope.
When the girl went to school with lacerations and bruises, her friends told administrators, who called RCMP.
