The New American website reports today (June 3, 2012) that Black Earth, Wisconsin pastor Philip Caminiti, 55, has been sentenced to two years in prison for preaching that parents should spank their children when they misbehave -- even those as young as two months -- with wooden spoons and rods.
Caminiti -- pastor of Aleithela Bible Church -- simply preached a message that some found disagreeable.
Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi was astounded and offended by the message that parents should be spanking their children.
She admitted that she was making an example of Caminiti, emphasizing that "child abuse" will not be tolerated.
