What I find strange in this twisted society is that governments are
talking about charging parents for such a silly act, yet no penalty
is given to parents who injest drugs and produce kids with mental
problems.  Look at the girl in Canada who had three children that were
mentally damaged by drugs, and is now pregnant with her fourth while
still injesting all of those drugs.  Kids should have the right to
sue their parents years later, or someone should be able to sue the
parent on their behalf, certainly for this reason -- but something as
trivial as spanking?  How ridiculous! -- Alleycat
