Chapters/Indigo: Remove 'To Train Up a Child' from your shelves and website
This book instructs parents to use objects (like plumbing tube) to spank young children and "break their will". It also instructs parents to withhold food, put children under a cold garden hose, force outside in cold weather. The recommendations are not only immoral, but illegal.
We respectfully request that Chapters and Indigo remove this book, immediately, from shelves and from their website. For continuing to sell it makes Chapters and Indigo complicit in the abuse of children who's parents follow this book. Remove this book before anyone else dies.

Disgusting...this should already have been off the shelves the moment the first child died due to the teachings in this book...I don't see why anyone would LET this be published in the first place
I cannot believe this book was ever published in the first place. That it is still available for purchase is disgraceful!

The fact that it was ever published in the first place is bad enough, but allowing it to still be sold when 3 children have been murdered due to its teachings makes anyone involved just as responsible for the deaths as the authors. A truly disgusting book.
