RESOLUTIONS OR PROCLAMATIONS 1, RESOLUTION PROHIBITING CORPORAL PUNISHMENT OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN Motion was made by Commissioner Marshall, seconded by Commissioner Garey to adopt the following resolution and to send copies to the North Catalina Day Care Commission, State Representatives and the Governor. RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF PROHIBITING CORPORAL PUNISHMENT OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN WHEREAS, the Human Services Advisory Commission of Orange County has devoted several of its meetings this year to an investigation of child abuse and neglect in Orange County; its prevalence, causes, the alarming suffering it causes, as well as the costs to individuals and the community, and, therefore, the necessity of putting in place strategies to prevent such abuse and neglect; and, WHEREAS, the condoning in any group care setting of adults hitting, slapping, spanking, or making any other form of assault against the physical person of any child will surely serve to promote, rather than to prevent, that kind of aggressive behavior in families and among children themselves; and, WHEREAS, we regard the protection of the physical well being and the dignity of children (as well as dependent adults) to be a basic responsibility of any official or organization charged with their care, and affirm the position of the North Carolina Day Care Commission in having made the rule prohibiting corporal punishment of preschool children as one which provides such protection; and, WHEREAS, we understand that the North Carolina Day Care Commission is to rule in the final months of 1988 or the beginning of 1989 on whether the rule prohibiting corporal punishment is to be overturned, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the Orange County Board of Commissioners supports continuation of the rule prohibiting corporal punishment of preschool children in all day care facilities. VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
