Massachusetts lawmakers are considering a bill that would make it illegal for a parent to forcefully touch a child under 18 years old unless it's to keep them out of harm's way.

Do you support or oppose a ban on spanking in the state? Why or why not?

Very good debate from other people's perspective to the new law. I disagree with State of Masachusetts new law.

I think that's a bad bill, and I do not support it.

Too much state involvement in how parents raise their children.
 
No way should this law get past, this is going to far.:mad:
 
State of Social Service will remove more and more children from the homes. Foster Homes will become over crowd in Massachusetts !! :(

Social Workers and Court increase cases load become more overwhelming over a little things.

Hope, My grandchildren do not live in that State of Masshole-setts.
 
I thikn it's wrong to pass that law. it's obvious that not spanking isn't working. Kids today are already disrespectfull. Spanking when used correctly works. However, sadly it is overly used and used in correctly.

I agree.
 
it must be parents who used to be childhood who hate to have spanking.

as same Canada law.. mostly worst nightmare in Ontario, Canada Agency are sharp and taking your child away any kinds of case.. Seen so many children are filled in the foster care.. Seen newspaper ad Agency asking for wanted foster parents.. (make me sick) Agency aren't help the parents and willing working out bring the counseling solution depend the case. If serious, well not my business their own decision what best for child placement than stay abuse home. For safely....

Tiny minor case, Still take your child away. Like Fragile the glass ball if you drop one mistake.. you'll lose the child.. and get your lawyer.. to fight the court.. Pretty insight not fun long haul battle the court til win the case.. or lose case.. whatever..
I've been there.. *sigh* We are innocent parents and fought fought the court.. so decide hire powerful the lawyer. Found out this case was prejudiced against Deaf parents ... use word "Deaf" *woOOOooooOoOo* Discrimination huge one! We glad won the court.. *sigh*
Stupid Agency! **longest story about stupid neighbor**
 
We as parents have rights to discipline our children and teach them right from wrong.
 
I think government should butt out of family affairs, parenting, etc but to be there if there's groin kicks, body slams, etc. Lol....

Hahaha, so glad you understand my need to add a little humor to a very serious subject. Oh, and to add to the list of abuse horrors, don't forget swift kicks to the WHOOPS! :giggle:
 
This is why I think this ban is a good thing.

There should have been a ban on spanking and yelling at children a long time ago. How is it that Massachussetts parents believe it is o.k. to yell at and hit their children - two actions that an adult would think twice about doing to another adult? How about thinking of children as actual people? You know...do unto others as you would have them do unto you? What if it was o.k. for your child to hit you and yell at you whenever you didn't do something right in their eyes? Would you be able to stand the physical pain and the emotional wounds that come from being hit and yelled at by the people who are supposed to love you the most? Doubt it. Your kids can't take it at all. Our country needs to join the other intelligent nations around the world who have outlawed the corporal punishment of children. These countries have recognized corporal punishment as a type of torture; especially when it is done to children.

Grow up and treat your children as an adult should - with gentleness, intelligence and understanding. An adult who hits a kid or screams at a kid is not really an adult at all but rather is an overgrown kid who has a lot of maturing to do.

Stop childhood violence, Shadow

I guess I'm alone in having taken a serious Child Psychology class. You cannot teach children to avoid being violent by being violent with them. Should it be illegal? I can't answer that, I don't make you choose how to lead your life. Kaufman's my rep in the state, and I've met him, good guy. Don't go attacking him on the only issue you know where he stands. I do know this: you shouldn't spank your kids if you ask me. I'll never do it, there are better ways to teach a child then hitting.

I am for the ban on spanking. I was raised in a very bad hitting and spanking enviorment. Because of that I have alot of emotional scars. Along with my two siblings. I feel any type of spanking is child abuse and cruelty! A small swat to a child will eventually turn into a bigger one. Parents need to learn self control. I have raised four children. Two boys and Two girls. I never spanked any of them. I used reasoning and common sense. A parent should know their childs limits and how much they can take without having a meltdown that would warrant a so called spanking. My kids are sucessful compassionate and well balanced. They all have a loving and caring relationship with me and our family.

Oh my dear, they are supposing to help you and parents, not against you and them. Yes I remember your post at other thread and support you there. I am glad that you won at court against CPS. Yes use deafness as an excuse is a discrimination... *shake my head*

They help the parents when the parents have the problem to deal with children. It´s their job. They only take children away from the parents IF they beat children up to their body are black and blue bruised, neglect, etc. , not just spanking. They help the parents with the tricks how to aviod spanking.
 
I opposed this bill, From my perspective each parents have their own discipline style, if spanking is included in the discipline, then I don't see why they have to ban spanking. No state government has that right to tell us we can't spank our children if they don't wish to use spanking as a form of discipline, they don't have to but it doesn't mean we all must follow their opinions.

I agree. If parents want to use spanking as part of their disciplining, then let them. If they don't want to use spanking as part of their discipling, then don't force them to use it. It's that simple.
 
sorry, I have to be against that law. A child needs a spanking, should be able to spank them. I also believe there should be a limited to what a parent does.

I just believe a child needs a good spanking and pat on the rear when they need it, but also, a child should never get a whopping at all. In the home, it can be a little more forceful then in public.

I'm with you, just agree with you.

I don't support to spanking on children as discipline but rather to have stronger methods to punish the child when too stubborn or aggressive without any hurt to child, but... for other families, it's all of their choice.
