A shocking case and a total twisting of any Biblical, or WT direction on child discipline. I acccept that the WT books have upheld corporal punishment but never anything like that. The trouble is that if a man is by nature a controlling bully he can use it to justify his bullying.
I have never known any as bad but some very controlling husbands and fathers.
The more recent stuff on families has played down the “rod of discipline “ approach and been a lot softer.. going with the times, I guess

Just to be clear, I got the strap, the regular belt, the thick razor belt, the hand and anything close to my mother’s hand. I never was in danger of my life. I thought that the emphasis on the thread was how terrible JW parents are that they even kill or get close to killing their kids. That’s pretty rare but getting “disciplined “, I got it as a kid regularly.🤭

I was never allowed to play or associate with any non-JW children at any time, even our very friendly neighbours.

I played with other kids and can't remember even one time of physical punishment

I saw things done to make children sit quietly at JW meetings which could only be described as atrocities.
No bones were broken, nobody died, but what was inflicted on those children (who were just being children) was outright inhumane. 40+ years later, I still cringe when I think about it.
