Californians are out of their mind, example 487: They want to make it illegal to spank your own
kid.Democratic Assemblywoman Sally Lieber said such a law is needed because spanking victimizes helpless children and breeds violence in society.
"I think it's pretty hard to argue you need to beat a child," Lieber said. "Is it OK to whip a 1-year-old or a 6-month-old or a newborn?"
Lieber said her proposal would make spanking, hitting and slapping a child under 4 years old a misdemeanor. Adults could face up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Because your parents in jail for spanking you is
much better than getting your butt busted for mouthin' off the 8th time they told you to stop.
Look, is anyone going to advocate
beating children? No, that's not what this is about. It's about spanking and state control of parenting. Ain't
no one above an ass-whoopin', I don't care how old you are.
