I definitely do not agree with this, as with many, I think spanking is perfectly fine and that society would be better as a whole. Sometimes it does go too far, but the benefits of disciplinary action far outweighs the risks, as long as it is done when it is appropriate. IMO, the idea that spanking should be outlawed is absurd.




EDIT: OK, outlawing spanking for 3 yr olds and younger - that is understandable. (Got to read the article before responding :wink: )


Um okay LOL! If you think this is just one incident, look up their state Supreme Court and take a look see at the high courts rulings. :roll:

I hate child abuse, but going to jail for spanking is just plain nuts.

I was never spanked, never got in trouble, and had unlimited freedoms to do as I please... look where it got me, high school drop-out, unemployed and battling personal issues.

Sometimes I wish I was taught some discipline.

I don't think spanking is wrong as long is just a swat to know you mean business. And not abuse to where you cause injury to a child. I don't believe in spanking with a belt however because I think that is abuse. My earliest memory at age 3 was getting beaten by a belt by my dad. Yes, at age 3, that is the earliest memory I have. My dad has a horrible temper that is very easily set off over the slightest thing. And I gotten spanked with a belt numerous times even over the most minor things. Enough to cause welts and bruises and child protection had even got involved. I am now 30, and of course have not been hit in years by a belt. I have forgave my dad, but I will never forget. To this day even though I still live under the same roof with him for 2 weeks out of the month, I am still scared of him. We don't have a very good relationship at all and rarely speak unless we have to.

I was never spanked as a child except for maybe twice when I was two, and I was a pretty good child and didn't get in much trouble, however my brother and sister were spanked all the time and they were always in trouble lol.

That's the plan. Take control of the kids from the parents, drug the difficult ones into submission, and brainwash the rest.

My parents beleived that if you just spend time with your kid and if you just sit down with them and talk about the do's and don'ts, they'll turn out fine. They did that with me and I turned out fine, passing grades, a clean record, and a good choice of friends.

Consistency in whatever mode of descipline is the key. Whether spanking, time out or a good talking to - be consistent!!! If something is wrong it's always wrong whether the parent is in a good or bad mood. Did I spank my kids? You can bet your bottom I did. Was I spanked as a kid? Oh yes, many times. Can I remember what I was spanked for? To this day, I can remember what I did wrong to get those many spankings. Has anyone other than my parents ever laid a hand on me? NO Has anyone other than me ever laid a hand on my kids? NO

I don't believe that anyone other than responsible parents should spank a child but I do believe in spankings. Oh and there is a place to be spanked. I've always thought that God created well padded bottoms for that reason ----- Not faces, arms or legs - just on the bottom!! :D

If this passed and I lived in Calf my response would be, "Warm up my jail cell because I'll be there soon". :-) There's a vast difference between a spanking and child abuse.
