A podcast I listen to, Small Town Murder, featured a premium episode where they read crime articles from pre-1920s newspapers. One was from the 1890s and was about how a ten-year-old boy shot and killed his father after the man had whipped him.

Wikipedia also has links to a stories about pre-20th century school shootings. In one case, a kid’s older brother came to the schoolhouse and killed the teacher for hitting his younger sibling the day before (whenever I hear anyone talking about the good ol days of spanking kids into good behavior, I think of these two cases lol).

Not a proponent of spanking or anything of the sort, just telling an experience here. Came from a household with two parents, who both had conflicting views on discipline. My father came from a family where spanking/beating with a belt was the gold standard. No time outs, no warnings, nothing. My mother from a family where spanking/switch was for an absolute last resort, where you did something so bad that time outs or grounding wouldn’t cut it. Now in current times, my father is a man with much more… aggressive.. views on how one should respond to things such as crimes, and is also quite emotionally stunted. My mother is a measured, reasonable, compassionate person. Spanking isn’t something id ever say is “good”, but a lot of the times where you hear about kids having marks or injuries from it, thats from a parent that violates two rules. Never make it the first choice, and never discipline when you’re angry. (Side note, the few times we ever were spanked, my mother made sure she did it. Father worked in a trade and he had the strength to prove it)

Love that podcast, and Crime in Sports.

Is the premium worth it, in your opinion?

It depends. Sometimes they have good premium episodes where they delve into more well known cases. Those are interesting (I really want to hear them discuss the Murdaugh case). But some of the CIS ones aren’t as interesting. That’s probably more me as I don’t really follow sports.

I do follow sports, but I like Small Town Murder better too. I love CIS when I know who it is.
