No-spank bill
California: The state Legislature is about to weigh in on a question that stirs impassioned debate among moms and dads: Should parents spank their children?Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, D-Mountain View, wants to outlaw spanking children up to 3 years old. If she succeeds, California would become the first state in the nation to explicitly ban parents from smacking their kids.
Making a swat on the behind a misdemeanor might seem a bit much for some — and the chances of the idea becoming law appear slim, at best — but Lieber begs to differ. Via Mercury News
Dear gussy, half my family would probably end up in prison if this one passes. Being just a few miles north of the Bible Belt where they believe firmly in “sparing the rod, spoils the child” LITERALLY – this one is likely to cause quite a stir.
Anyone care to share their take?
