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?

No-spank bill

I’m interested in learning what that means to our Super Nanny Rules readers.

So, what exactly does that scripture mean to you?  And how do you include that scripture in your everyday life, or do you?
