“ 2-10 years for spanking your daughter? Freaking ridiculous.”
Do you know of any Texas laws that grants one the legal authority to assault a person simply because the person being assaulted is related to the accused?
Sod off troll.

According to the website below, corporal punishment of a child by a parent is LEGAL in all 50 states as long as the child is not injured.
A Parent’s Limited Right to Spank
Currently, parents in all states have a limited right to spank their children. Courts have decided that parents have a constitutional right to raise their children as they see fit, including using whatever method of discipline they think is best. Whether by statute or by legal opinion, states permit parents to use physical discipline against their children as long as it is done in moderation and does not cause injury.
