Dear UK folk,

I recently received a copy of what looks to be a newspaper article from The
Telegraph (don't know where that hails from) announcing that the Ezzos were
coming to Great Britain in October.  This is the headline & beginning of the
article:

<<US 'child beaters' invited to speak by Christian group
By Linda Jackson


AN American couple who believe in beating children rather than cuddling
them have been invited to speak in Britain by a Christian education
group.

Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo, self-styled childcare experts and committed
Christians, recommend that parents spank children from the age of 18
months up to five times a day, even for small transgressions.

During the visit next month, they will claim that parental over-
indulgence has led to Britain's decline into "immorality". And, in a
stinging attack, they will blame Penelope Leach, the child psychologist
and author of a best-selling child development guide, for significantly
contributing to the decline.>>

It goes on.  Anyway, if any of you have seen this and can give me the
citation (specific newspaper -- as I said, I think it is The Telegraph);
where it is from, and the date of publication (page number too??) I'd greatly
appreciate it.  You can e-mail me privately as this is off topic.

Thanks so much,

Jan
