He told the principle that when his kids started coming home from elementary school after being educated on what child abuse was his hands are tied. You can’t spank or send your kid to bed without supper anymore without the government stepping in.
I’m not picking sides here, but today, parents have to be real careful on how they decide to punish their kids. Sad, but that is how it is…  |
I disagree, there is a line between spanking and child abuse. Spanking does not leave bruises (or at least it better not!) and is only done when the child deserves it. I definitely DO agree that some of these schools are getting entirely TOO nosey and getting the government involved in places they should never be.
