The Pearls give lip service to breastfeeding, but none of their ideas support any type of loving guidance, empathy or love at the breast. (Pulliing a baby's hair at the breast isn't the worst of it.) They also tell mothers who have husbands who have *sexually abused* the children to "simply have him put in jail for 15 or 20 years, until the children are grown, and then welcome him back with open arms!" Obviously concern for grandchildren, neighbors, the wife or anyone else is lacking. Also, as anyone who has ever been sexaully assaulted knows, one doesn't just "simply have someone put in jail for 15 or 20 years..." These people, whether they give breastfeeding lip service or not, make Ezzo look like a child's advocate. They need not only training in child development and a big reality check, as do those who follow them.
