Cops: Boy flees after couple forces him to kneel 9 hours a day for 10 days
People who think anything is the "only punishment that works" for disciplining a child have stopped thinking.
I think Sheriff Grady Judd is right:

The Post reported that the pair may face further charges after a nine-year-old girl also claimed they forced her to kneel for two days straight.
