Issue:
A Liberal female law maker from the Bay area will propose a law making it a crime to spank a child under 4 years old...it will be a misdemeanor punishable by 1 year in jail & a thousand dollar fine.
Belief:
Most parents disagree with the bill and follow how they were raised. There’s always concern that spanking your child will leave psychological scars.
spare the rod spior the child right
In 2005 a policeman asked me, why did I think there was so much crime going on now a days? So I'll put it here for you all to see. A spanking is NOT abuse, neither is a whipping/whooping. Now an a** kicking or even getting at that behind while you are in a rage is just wrong! I'm not sure if it's when they invented CPS (child protective services)or what? But somewhere something went wrong. I'll tell you this don't tell me I can't spank my kids and then tell me you're going to hold me responsible for something they did. I'll tell you right now I'll be dropping them at your house so they can kick your a*$. You ever view a talkshow where the child is biting,pushing,hitting & kicking their parents behind? The kids walk out screaming f___you, shut up b____and things like that. Do you know why? Because that child knows if you put your hands on me I'm calling the police. That child feels like if they spare the rod on you, then you're going to get spoiled and think you can tell me what to do! Then you watch that same talkshow a few years later and that same family is back. But guess why now? Because the parents are now drug addicts, oh and their kids are in the strets robbing YOU! So tell me did you ever get a spanking? I guess those who said yes, would like to tell me how it tramatized you to? How you have low self-esteem and whatnots? One last question for those of you that got spankings and the whole 9 yards. Do or did you curse at your parents,do you rob and steal and do you use drugs? Hmmph, imagine that!!!
I think spanking being looked at as abuse is only necessary in extreme cases. No I do not think that a weapon should be able to be use nor excessive force is necessary. If you do not use spanking as a first resort when you do have to use it chances are you are going to hurt their ego more than actually hurting them and isn't that what we are going for. AS LONG as spanking is not done excessively nor with a weapon I see nothing wrong with it.
