Better watch out on the way in which you discipline your children. In Boston there will be state talks on introducing a bill that prohibits spanking children by parents. That's right, parents will no longer be able to spank children no matter what or you could and probably would go to jail or be fined.
Hearing the woman that is presenting the bill talks I think she is completely dingy. Sorry. As she said, it is not meant for the over all parents that actually do not spank excessively but for the small per centage of parents that go to the point of abuse.
So, this bill is for a small percentage? The state steps in and says how we as parents can and WILL discipline our children. We have no options as thinking individuals? This is taken away by being punishable by law.
Now, I rarely if ever spank my children. I talk them to death where they have actually said they would rather have had a spanking than a lecture. Yes, that's right. But my point is, they are taking away the rights of parents that rarely if ever spank. No choices left at all putting the power into the children's hands. Parents will be at the mercy of the diabolical child that picks up the phone, goes to their school counselor stating they were spanked when they were not because they are pissed at being lectured or grounded.
How long will it be when they the state says we can no longer ground the children? Will they say it is abuse taking away their cell phones, land lines or inter net? Go ahead and laugh but it could happen.
Sounds much like communism to me. State telling us what and when to do it.
Sad state of affairs to me.
