“There is strong evidence to suggest that physical punishment harms children. Research evidence consistently links physical punishment with negative effects on children. There is good evidence to suggest that physical punishment does not reduce defiant or aggressive behaviour nor does it promote long-term positive behvaiour in children. A systematic review of 53 studies on the use of physical punishment in schools found that it had negative effects on academic performance of children and resulted in behavioural issues (e.g. violent behaviour and aggressive conduct).
Research links physical punishment to risks of harm to children’s cognitive, behavioural, social and emotional development.” Physical Punishment Legislation, pdf.

My wife and I have under taken cyber security probes of the software that controls the donation process, seems quite safe, for even knowing of the transaction via email and receiving the money, I could not geolocate my own wife’s donation_place via a banking system. Seems pretty decent.
