Go to jail for spanking your child
Woman sent to jail for spanking her kids!
Should spanking your kid be against the law?
Today, I once again watched Mike and Juliet, a morning talk show. They were talking about a woman, who was on an airplane, and spanked her kids for bad behavior. The woman ended up being arrested, and had her kids taken from her by children protective services.
I am personally outraged, by this! Since when , is it illegal to spank your child?
I know that the ” time out” is the punishment being promoted by everyone these days but, sometimes a good old fashioned spanking is in order. I use time out with my children sure, but sometimes I spank also. If I have to be worried that spanking my kids is going to land my but in jail, or cause me to lose my kids, yeah I would never spank them again. And if kids know that this is the case, I can imagine some might use it to their advantage. Such as ” you can’t spank me because you’ll go to jail”.
This is ridiculous! Law enforcement should be worried about abusive, drug abusing, sex offending parents, not innocent parents! I can’t even begin to describe how sorry I feel for this woman who had her life completely turned upside down, all for a spanking.
I feel like us parents need to somehow, voice our opinions about discipline. We need to talk, and make our voices heard. Otherwise any of us could end up like this woman who lost her kids, and is sitting in jail.
