Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
We used corporal punishment raising our kids but it was spankings with a belt instead of kitchen utinsels!
The school and TV had so indoctrinated the kids against possible child abuse that one time when my oldest son was about 10 and had gotten a spanking he threatened to call the police on me. That did not go over very well.
When my daughter tells people she plans on spanking her daughter when she gets older if she needs it they tell her that she won't really do it. She tells them that they don't know her family. We don't put up with bratty kids.
My kids had a great life growing up and got to do lots of things but they were well behaved 99.5% of the time because they knew there were consequences to not behaving.
My three kids are two years apart between each one and they were so well behaved in elementary school and such good students that the teachers fought over who would get the younger ones as they came up.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
