...if you swat your children on the bum.
the democrats in California are out to get you. They are determined to pass a law making it punishable with jail time if you spank your child. Check out this article.
Now, there are many states in this country, my own state of Ohio included, in which judges are letting child molesters go with no jail time. A judge in
Columbus, Ohio, recently gave a convicted child molester, a man who raped two young boys, probation. A judge in Vermont recently let a man go who
raped a four year old. These are sick people, but they are permitted to
go back into society, with the "hope" that they will be good.
Yet parents, making an effort to discipline their children, are criminals.
I know that some parents go past the discipline and into child abuse.
But do democrats really think a law is going to prevent that from
happening? Instead, good parents are going to get tied up in criminal
cases and potentially be taken from their families for jail time. Can
politicians not find a better way to deal with child abuse? Why not try
to get liberal judges to uphold laws currently on the books that are
there to protect children, no matter what kind of abuse they receive?
No matter what side of the spanking debate you are on, you have to admit that this is ridiculous.
This comes up a lot in Canada. Many people have told me there is a fine line between spanking and child abuse. That is like saying there is a fine line between lying and telling the truth. Spanking is done with love and the child's interest at heart. And obviously abuse is not.
