Corporal Punishment - April 22 2022

April 22nd: Eastbourne Manslaughter (1860) The idea of corporal punishment, with more modern eyes, seems completely barbaric and absolutely unnecessary. This, however, was not always the case. On April 22nd 1860 a young boy was found dead in the home of his teacher. A teacher who was given permission to teach the “unteachable” boy through any means necessary and may, or may not, have taken it way too far.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastbourne_manslaughter, https://murderresearch.com/victorian-trials-1860-1869/ Learn more about your ad choices.
