Ridiculous Item of the Day: Spanking Outlawed
Massachusetts, a state I have a love-hate relationship with (love the state, hate the socialism), now has a proposal to ban spanking of children in all cases except extreme danger...even in your own home.
The proposal, submitted by a nurse, would ban corporal punishment, including spanking, in all cases for children under 18 unless it is to save them from danger. Parents would face charges of abuse or neglect, according to The Boston Herald.I think it's ridiculous. All real spanking (as opposed to beatings) is to save them from danger. The kids in the most danger are those who do not receive such punishment and allowed to do whatever they wish (which they're not equipped yet to do). Is it just me or is the Massachusetts government illustrating, once again, they're over the wall?
