Family Forum / Parenting / Spanking / July 2006Corporal Punishment, illegal in the US
Yep folks, it's official. Corporal punishment of children is illegal in at least one state. http://www.tribune-georgian.com/articles/2006/06/28/news/opinion/letters/4letter 6.28.txt  Signature"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote." - Benjamin Franklin (or someone else) Wasn't about parental spanking, was about Listerine use as CP in daycare. http://www.tribune-georgian.com/articles/2006/06/28/news/opinion/letters/4letter 6.28.txt Corporal punishment in day care, above all, was illegal Dear Editor, I am writing to address some of the letters written regarding the alleged abuse that occurred at Little Treasures Daycare. The point is not whether you think what the director did was appropriate discipline or whether "God told her it was OK." The point is it was illegal. I have worked in childcare for six years. Every year you are required by law to undergo 10 hours of state certified training. Anyone who goes through this training knows there are laws defining appropriate discipline. We are not allowed to physically punish a child in any way. It doesn't matter if you think a spanking would help. Or if you think a child should have their mouth washed out with Listerine for biting. Your opinion does not matter. What you do with your own child at your home is your business. What a child care worker does at a daycare is everyone's business. These laws are in place to protect the children and the workers. They are not that hard to follow. There are other, more appropriate ways of handling a biter. A child who bites is not necessarily an aggressive or mean child. Especially if they are only 2 years old. Most 2-year-olds do not yet possess the communication skills to say "I'm mad" or "I'm frustrated," thus they, many times, end up biting. I'm not saying biting is an appropriate behavior. It isn't. But there are better ways of dealing with it than putting Listerine in a child's mouth. Morghan Rebekah Drury St. Marys, > Wasn't about parental spanking, I know. I didn't say it was. That new subject line above was YOUR substitution for mine. Neither in the subject, or the body of the message I wrote did I say, "PARENTAL SPANKING LEGAL IN ALL 50 STATES" > was about Listerine use as CP in > daycare. Yep. And THIS IS WHAT I actually said, "Yep folks, it's official. Corporal punishment of children is illegal in at least one state." See the word "spanking" there anywhere? I recall your vehement confrontations with Fern for posting with subjects that did not conform to content. You were great...oh wait. That was ME that did that, and you were dead silent. In fact, siding with her from time to time for posting that CPS was responsible for things they are not even legally mandated to do. And you cannot read either. R R R R From this very post: "not allowed to physically punish a child in any way" Followed by: "It doesn't matter if you think a spanking would help." So, Greg. Even though I did not mention spanking, the article did, and YOU claimed it was not about spanking. I suppose you'll run without apologizing for two attempts to misrepresent my post....one, changing my subject field and then claiming my subject was wrong. Then claiming that YOUR OWN SUBJECT THAT YOU SUBSTITUTED WAS INCORRECT..and finding that in fact it was NOT. So, in both cases, even when YOU FAKED BEING ME, I was right and you were wrong. I probably won't be able to get a good night's sleep tonight for the laughter waking me up....my own. See where aborting attributions and substituting your own words for another's gets yah, Greg? 0:-> Where's my few lines of narrative that I preceded this article with, Greg? Why did you abort them?

Is this the extent of your honesty or is this an example where your ZEAL justifies such dishonesty? The article does not say anything like what you claimed. > Yep folks, it's official.
