If I had a dime for everytime a stupid politico wanted to outlaw spanking. I don't think they took a look at our children and teens as of late. THIS is the result of NOT spanking. I think discipline is up to the parent and NOT a government issue. As long as you are not hitting to harm, a light spank here and there won't kill the kid. Right now I'm listening to how a 4th grader brought a gun to school.
 
I'm pretty sure the Columbine duo didn't get spanked. The new parenting style of not asking and giving kids their so called privacy led to these two having guns in their home without their idiotic parents not even knowing that the tragedy that was to unfold was happening under their own roof. I think we have more important things to tends to and this is the last thing that politicians need to concern themselves with. I don't know this could just be my opinion.

    i agree that this is more government interference into how people parent. there are already child abuse laws on the books in every state of the union. i just don't get it.

    I think the repeated use of child spanking as a campaign tool is deplorable.  In fact, if a politician would come out and state that he spanks his kids I'd cross party lines to vote for him.

    I have to completely agree with everyone (u-i...thanks for making me smile...I'd follow right behind you)!

    I was spanked...and it's the ONLY thing my cousins and I speak about. It did none of us any harm, but a whole lot of good. I was more afraid of getting hit than curious of how far I could push my mother.

    My sister, though...hmmmmmm...she needs a good spanking! She talks back like my mother is a classmate...I'm itching to spank her for my mother...along with all those other rude, obnoxious children I see on the street. I never DARED talk back to my mother...or any other adult for that matter. I was NOT suicidal.

    tbs - LOL I can relate to the "I was NOT suicidal" sentiment.  I had a handful of spankings as a kid and they "took" so I see no need to make a big deal out of it.

    I should think that any parents, regardless of their views on spanking, would resent the government's attempt to interfere with how they raise their children.

Watching an adorable 1 year-old baby is quiet amusing. She is trying to figure out where to place a lovely playhouse of her doll. One-year-olds are just starting their forays into friendships....
