BOSTON -- Lawmakers on Beacon Hill are set to consider a proposed ban on spanking children in the commonwealth.

NewsCenter 5's Shiba Russell reported that the issue is set for debate at a Statehouse hearing Wednesday morning.

The Boston Herald reported that 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.

We can still virtually spank in cyberspace.

First time I tried, I scored 140mph. By the third attempt, I was up to 244 mph. From what I recall, my Mom (may she rest in peace) would have scored supersonic.

What an unusual toast.

Is this all they can legislate. Aren’t there more pressing problems like raising their salaries and benefits? Sarc

Rep. Marzilli from Arlington tried this in July of 2005 at the behest of Left Coast Loon, Jordan Riak from Project No Spank. It went nowhere.

[Tanniker Smith]

oops.
(at least it didn't morph into something nasty...)

[edcoil]

We had one of our legislators that has never been married and had no children try this here last year and it failed and now every time this women walks in public she hears the people snicker.

[napscoordinator]

This law is about 38 years too late. lol. Just thought of another thing, does this mean that new born babies don’t get that first slap???

The Book of Proverbs tells us that we need to give the rod to our rebellious children to correct them. It’s integral to free exercise.
