California Bill Would Ban Spanking with 'Implements'

Not a very smart idea. Ludacrist actually. Because I came from a family of 13 and we got a swat on the butt when needs be, it absolutely cannot be deemed as criminal or the consequences of non discipline needed per each child will come out in the end. Like was said..Spare the rod ..Spoil the child. firm, loving, discipline.. S Stegall

I fully agree with Sarah Berke. Everything she said was right on. It is clear in Gods' word how we are to dicipline our children. When we spank or hit our children out of pure frustration that is when problems occur. but loving, controlled spanking whether with your hand or the rod, is God's way. Maybe this issue would be viewed differently if God wasn't taken out of the picture. Proverbs 14:12 tells us " There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to destruction."
