Lesson Has Students Take Turns ‘Killing’ Baby

One of the more disturbing stories to come out of an American school is about a lesson given recently at Churchville-Chili Middle School in Churchville, New York, near Rochester.

Seventh-grade students in a class called Family and Consumer Sciences were given a lesson about shaken baby syndrome, or the sorts of injuries that can occur when a small child is shaken violently by an adult. Because of children’s undeveloped neck muscles, babies in particular can be in danger of death if they are shaken, even if the intent is playful.

Part of the lesson included a video showing a child hospitalized because of being shaken by his father, and an interview of the father, who wound up being sent to jail because of the injuries he inflicted on the baby.

So far, so good.
