No. The choice of discipline should be left up to the parent - not the governement.

I do think there is a HUGE difference in spanking and beating. Abusing your child is against the law.

heladoman agrees: I completely agree. :D
jasondbel : there is no need to spank a child. A bully. Picture yourself in prison and a guy bigger than you starts to take advantage of you. If the man can build nuclear powered aircraft carriers then there is another way to treat a child

Spanking, no. Beating the livin' crap out of them to the point of physical injury, yes.

Spanking yes, beating no.
There are laws to protect the kids, because so many go way over board, so if it has to be illegal to protect them, then so be it.....

Comments on this post
try2findaway agrees: Absolutely, although a spank on the bum maybe considered as 'not so bad', there are way too many that take abuse. Like the old adage, "given an inch, they take a mile"

of course not, spanking is one of the best methods of displine that you can use with younger children.

It may not be illegal but if some one reports it to Child protective services they most often do treat it like it is illegal and then you are put through hell over it. I know many people who are afraid to discipline their kids other than reward system because of CPS.

Both, and from Profession, having worked before in both public school, it was obvious there is little disipline in schools that do not allow spanking where they will not remove a child from a class.

And from work in the prisons and with police departments, while of course not 100 percent by any means, the lack of proper disipline in homes can be seen in the majority of the major social issues today.

If you had ever been taken behind the barn so to speak, you seldom did things to that point again.

Our complete criminal justice system works on that very idea, you do wrong, you will be punished, the worst you do, or the more you do it, the worst your punishment.

This is not beating, but a proper spanking works wonders and should be more the norm in society,

Yes, a good switch to the rear of a child does not real harm, and alot of good. Again this is not beating, and has to be done in the proper manner, at the right time.
