Is spanking allowed in NJ?
Parents are responsible for their kids at least through age 18. Too many parents feel it’s someone else’s responsibility to watch over their kids. Nope...not any more. The chickens are coming home to roost.
NJ parents: get your little animals under control.
Or even six months.
This law will only be enforced on white families, no way they will ever use it on families of color.
Or try everyone as adults. If Mom doesn’t want to take the fall for little Bobby, it’s adios Bobby.
Loosers and criminals beget loosers and criminals.
Well, extend it to teachers and administrators if the bad kids misbehave at school. That would encourage a return of the “board of education”.
Might cure some of those cases of “Autism Spectrum” and ADD as well.
Marry before you have sex and have the father discipline the kids as they grow. Problem solved. Why is this so complicated?
Yesterday I said that’s what should be done in DC — prosecute the parents of all the underage criminals.
The Republican should take this and run. It might help them win. Say no to parents being in jail. I think they should be if the republican can get these pissed off parents to vote for them, they could be the whole ball game especially how close the race is. The education discussion worked in Virginia four years ago.
Bravo bravo... applause... finally something that will make parents more responsible
Ping!
Parents are sometimes not allowed to corporally discipline. They can not physically detain/lock up. They can’t neglect by any kinda tough method. Asking for police involvement is fruitless. They barely if ever help.
Parents are not allowed the tools necessary to control minors’ behavior if they are seriously misbehaving.
How can you hold them liable? How grossly unjust.
This is ridiculous.
Parents have no say over their child’s behavior after about age 13 or so. When it come to reproduction issues, no say, any age.
Try to get a child of 15 to stay home if it doesn’t want to. Parents would be arrested for imprisonment.
Try physically correcting an out of control adolescent. Police wo be on your doorstep so fast.
Try grounding a recalcitrant 14 year old female child. Allegations of sexual abuse will destroy the parents.
This is not leave it to beaver land.
Kids today go to discord reddit and other sites and they know how to figuratively burn down the house. And they have the support to do it.
I tell people who have an acting out teen to step back. Offer emancipation. One no onger has the parentsl tools to provide boundaries in the current culture.
‘bout time.
I don’t see how this is dangerous...
Because giving government EVEN MORE power never has negative unintended consequences ...
Beware Universal Mental Health Screening
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
If the kids have a difficult home situation then this law may be protecting parents who may need counseling.
Another state's approach to possibly unhappy families.
NJ parents outraged over new law that could put them in prison for their kids’ bad behavior: ‘Snake eating its tail (8.12.25)
Here's another perspective. If qualified majority citizen voters in Illinois do not want mental healthcare screening for their children, then this issue is more evidence that the deep state Congress is not doing its constitutional duty to guarantee each state in the Union a republican form of government.
Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
Voters in every state need to come to the rescue of oppressed Illinois majority voters, likewise for voters of other activist states, by supporting Trump with a new Congress in 2025 midterm elections that will protect the voting power of all citizens.
