Nanny State Alert: Massachusetts considering banning spanking

In what is almost impossible to believe a parent who spanks their child in Massachusetts would be quality of abuse and neglect. That could be true if the legislature has their way. WCBV reports that lawmakers are going to consider such legislation.

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 this proposal does become law
and parents are caught hitting their children who are under the age of 18,
they could be charged with abuse or neglect.

This is just the latest in a growing list of Governments that have forgot what Freedom is all about. Our society has moved from one that people had personal responsibility and freedom. To one where the Government sees the need to protect everyone and take away their freedoms "for the good of the people." It is time we resisted these measures and hold our elected officials responsible for trying to impose their will on the masses.
