NEW KENSINGTON, Pa. -- A Pennsylvania man has started a Web site that provides parents with paddles and directions on how to spank their children, Pittsburgh television station WTAE reported.
Joey Salvati said he had four conversations with God while he showered. He said God convinced him to create the paddles to punish unruly children.
"If you have to do something with your child, if you do it this way, you are at least getting their attention, but you are not harming them," said Salvati.
So far, Salvati has given away about 1,400 paddles, along with an owner's manual. The implements are available at Spare-Rods.com
The manual touches on everything from how many swats to apply to an appointment card for scheduling the spanking.
But according to his Web site, the paddles are to be used lovingly and never in anger.
Some people disagree with Salvati's cause.
"I think he should be put out of business," said New Kensington resident Heather Karcher.
Salvati's paddles are getting the same reaction around the country, but he believes his paddles and spanking plan make a difference.
