Has anybody seen this disgusting 'book' I can't believe Amazon would sell it when it encourages beating of your child with pipes!?

Please sign this petition to remove this disgusting book from sale. If you are in any doubt of the contents - many quotes are available on the internet listing it's encouragement of child abuse.

Signed. Read the extract from the book on Amazon and I actually can't believe they can sell this in the UK, as if they can just use the word "switch" and make it sound as harmless as saying "no" or removing the child from the situation. Awful.

Given a) that it would seem to be impossible to use a switch without leaving a mark and b) that it is illegal to chastise a child so as to leave a mark in this country, I really do not see how this book can be legally sold.
