Tell Massachusetts not to get involved with your family
Lawmakers on Beacon Hill are set to consider a proposed ban on spanking children in the commonwealth. State Rep. Jay Kaufman filed the spanking ban petition at the request of an Arlington, Mass., nurse who wants Massachusetts to become the first state in the country to stop corporal punishment.
If it becomes law, any parents caught hitting their children who are under the age of 18 could be charged with abuse or neglect.

While the intention is good, the government should not control the way you should raise your family. If a child deserves to be punished, some tolerable form of physical punishment is needed. Sending a child to his or her room, or being grounded are not absolute solutions. If your child was misbehaving in the store or mall, a simple no would not suffice.
The nanny police would probably have to arrest every parent in the mall who are trying to control their kids during this holiday season.
A waste of taxpayers' expense.
