STOUGHTON, Wis. - The city of Stoughton is training their staff to help end corporal punishment. The area is the first city in Dane County to become a "no hit zone." The policy passed City Council in 2016, however city staff just started training on the policy last week.

The concept enables staff to offer help to parents in stressful situations, before they feel the need to use physical discipline.

"We are not standing in judgement of anyone or anything like that. What we are saying is there are alternatives, there are different alternatives. Maybe, we can break this cycle of some degree and end the violence," said police Chief Greg Leck.
