SPANK A KID, GET HARD TIME

Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden says it’s “paramount” to keep children safe, but a new law he spearheaded will prevent – under threat of jail time – parents from giving junior a swat on the bottom hard enough to help him remember it’s not a good thing to poke a spoon handle into an electric outlet.
That’s because Biden’s new law, signed by Democratic Delaware Gov. Jack Markell Sept. 12, defines any “pain,” even from a loving swat, as “physical injury” and threatens parents with up to two years in jail for disciplining their children.
“In most of these five attempts across the three states, we were issued permanent or temporary licenses in about 1 hour or less,” the audit says. “In only one case did a front-counter clerk appear to question the validity of one of the counterfeit documents, but this clerk did not stop the issuance process.”

When my children misbehave they will be spanked on the bottom. No liberal bullship Democrat will stop me from teaching my children right from wrong. As parents we have rights to teach our children to behave.

Our daughter would never think to push me when I tell her No!! The only time a child should put their hands on anyone is to give them a hug or a kiss!!

Biden is as out of touch as his old man. They are both a disgrace to humanity.

Want to see the results of "time out" and "counseling" when it comes to teaching right and wrong? Its easy to find in our overflowing juvenile detention facilities and our prisons. At fourteen years old, its too late to teach manners and civility. What legislators dreamed this up? And defined "pain" as "physical injury"? THIS is what they do with our time (we pay them, so they ARE on OUR time)? I keep telling ya --- put these pompous, self important, and incompetent losers on a 90 day session, held once every 2 years. And pay them for 90 days of work. If this is an example of their productivity, maybe a 30 day session would be better.

That's why so many young people get killed. They are not taught any manners or civility and talk the wrong crap to the wrong person.

Then we find them lying in a gutter shot dead.

Good job lawmakers.

Spare the rod, spoil the child.

Instruct the child which path to take and when he is grown, he shall not stray from it.

That's the only thing that a child understands sometimes is to have their rear end spanked.
