The New Child Abuse Laws

you know i think disipline is different from abuse and i think that we should have the right to disipline our children how we see fit, the government may need to step in in some situations when the parents don't know the difference between disipline and abuse, i think the government had better start building more prisond if they keep getting worse and worse about this whole abuse thing, i believe that if a child is not disiplined in some form or another that they will not grow up to be a productive member of society, i would never beat my child, but i have spanked her and i will do it again, if they put me in jail, oh well, at least i know she has leared something and may not try whatever she did to deserve the punishment again. Most of the time, i just talk to her and that works, but sometimes a pre-teen is just a little too hard headed for thier own good.

Give me a wooden spoon! If my son does something wrong he's getting popped for it and I'm not going to hurt my hand doing it. I will not ride the fence on this issue. I believe that the problem with children today is that they are not disciplined enough and some do not respond to time out. My son is one of those. He looks at you like timeout what?? Well, that's my stand.

I think it's crazy to throw someone in jail just because they spank their kid. Some kids need it. A lot of kids don't respond to time outs. If we aren't allowed to discipline our kids, how are they going to know right from wrong? Who is going to be responsible when they go out and break laws when they are teenagers? The parents, who weren't allowed to discipline them? Society will say it isn't the teens fault because they didn't know any better.
