Sanity restored
Last month I wrote about a bit of proposed legislation out of California that absolutely blew my mind. Well, my mind is back in place and sanity has once again prevailed.
"SACRAMENTO, Calif. - A Democratic lawmaker has abandoned her heavily ridiculed campaign to make spanking a crime, acknowledging that the idea would get whacked even in California's sometimes whimsical Legislature. Instead, San Francisco Bay area Assemblywoman Sally Lieber introduced a more narrow bill on Thursday she said would help district attorneys more easily prosecute parents who cross the line from punishment into physical abuse."
The bill that was introduced is still highly flawed, and should fail. However, now that Assemblywoman Lieber has stepped back from the ledge, maybe we can get some real negotiation moving forward.

I am sorry to have to inform you that chaos still reigns in California's Capitol. Sally Lieber's Bill AB 755 on spanking could arguably make it illegal for any parent to spank a child of any age with any type of paddle, switch or their own hand. I have posted information about this issue on my blog if you are interested.
