    Uproar over video of child spanked at school

    JASPER COUNTY, Ga. (CBS12) — It is a controversial video that is difficult to watch and is making its rounds on social media.

    A Georgia mother recorded footage of school administrators allegedly 'spanking' her child with a paddle for discipline.

    Jasper County mother Shana Marie Perez posted the video Wednesday on Facebook.

    The mother, Shana Marie Perez explains:

    they told me if he could not get a paddling he would have to be suspended and if he got suspended for even one day I WILL go to jail for truancy... Jasper county made me do this... I could not go to jail or my kids would have nothing ... I can't take care of my kids in jail... And I was not texting I was recording this... I couldn't do anything to stop them.

    Comments posted on the Facebook thread by others shows outrage on why that type of punishment is still allowed.

    In Georgia, corporal punishment in public schools (which may include spanking and paddling) is still practiced. But half of all states has outlawed it.

    The type of punishment depends on the schools, according to Georgia law.

    A second video posted by the mother to social media shows the brief aftermath of the child crying and the school administrators trying to calm him down...

    His mother doesn't really seem all that concerned. She's pretty nonchalant about the whole thing to supposedly be outraged by it and posting the video, regardless of what they told her.
