WE
the Women
By RUTH MILLETT

Neiphbors in a Southern city
were Mortified when they saw a
maid whipping a 9-year-old child
left in her care by working par
ents, and reported her to the po-
lice.
The maid was cleared of charge
Of assault and battery when the
child's parents testified that they
had put the maid in charge OF
their four small children and given
her permission to punish them
when they needed it. And they
thought the child needed the whip
ping.
But the Judge of the juvenile
court called the parents in and
warned them that the court would
take their daughter into custody
unless the parents agreed not to
permit anyone but themselves to
whip the child.
Thn ease has created quite a
stir in The city, with some folks
siding with the Juvenile judges
verdict, and others siding with The
parents.
It seems to me that in laying Il
am lot going to sanction putting a
child under the supervision and au-
thority Ct a maid with the privilege
of whipping a child" the judge of
TIE juvenile court Is showing con-
cern over the least important as
pect of the situation.
THE REAL ISSUE
Ism t it far more important that
a maid is responsible for a child's
care, feed, and upbringing
that the maid is permitted to whip
the child?
Isn't the real harm in the fact
that a child must turn to a maid
for all its wants, its reas surancee.
its comfort when hurt, instead of
to its CWn mother.
In a situation that is basical'y
unfair to a child the matter of an
occasional whipping seems minor.
Isn't the question of who gives a
child love and care more important
