Should Spanking Be Illegal?

They’re doing it again. They’re “tying the hands” of parents. Spanking a child (within reason--not beating them) should BE a standard practice. I spanked my kids when they were young and rarely ever had to spank them later because they KNEW I would. Today’s practice of not EVER spanking your children lets them know they can get away with ANYTHING. And when they predictably get into serious trouble, the “authorities” try and blame the PARENTS! This is STUPID and ruins the children when a few well-placed slaps on the butt might have reinforced their parent’s authority while they were still young. (The Blaze)
