France Outlaws Spanking Kids, Bringing Ban Total to 52 Countries

The French parliament has passed a formal ban on spanking children, bringing the global total to 52 different countries where such corporal punishment in homes is against the law.

The new law that went into effect for 2017 bans “any cruel, degrading or humiliating punishment, including any use of physical violence,” including spanking in the home.

In passing the new regulation, France has joined a long list of countries that have outlawed corporal punishment. Unsurprisingly, the first country to make spanking illegal was Sweden, in 1979, followed by Finland in 1983. The last to join the list before France in 2016 were Mongolia, Paraguay and Slovenia.

The decision of the French parliament follows a symbolic reprimand by the Council of Europe in 2015 decrying France’s lack of a specific law “prohibiting corporal punishment in a clear, binding and precise way, including slaps and spankings, in breach of Article 17 of the European Charter of Social Rights.”

But in the no-go zones beheading, stoning and burning alive will still be acceptable...

Slowly but surely they are nibbling away at your choices and yet no one says anything.

The Moslems will just marry their own kids so's it'll be OK to beat them.

But female circumcision and honor killing are excluded due to cultural tolerance

Sure, but will they arrest muzzies for abusing their kids physically, emotionally and in other ways?

Not spanking my kids is against my religion. Well, not now since they are grown up. Now The Lord spanks them.

“MONGOLIA??”

Yeah, but it’s probably still legal to ride them out a day’s journey into the steppe and drop them off to walk home.

Sometimes spanking is the only form of discipline that works. Prediction: More out-of-control kids on the way.

Good. And for all you who want to err on the side of spanking, let me just say that I have done it without and my kids are in college with 4.0 and 3.8 grade points this semester. So there.

The ghetto beats them with electric cords and they act horrible. So this is your recommendation?
