What do you think of the Legislature considering a ban on spanking children in Massachusetts?
If you tap them on the hand or spank them on the leg, it’s okay. When it’s more than that, it’s bad.

They should worry about other things, like people smoking and drinking in public.

People should be able to spank their kids. It’s your kids. You have to discipline them.

You can raise kids without spanking. It takes more work and paying attention. It’s all about time.

There’s a difference between spanking and abuse. Parents should be able to discipline their children. It’s part of the problem in this community. Children don’t fear anything now.

I think they should be spanked. Kids are outrageous. You have to discipline them when they’re young.
