I just watched the montel show and he said spanking is illegal in all states. Can someone please give me a link to where I can find this in writing? Thank you.

no its not. It is actually being pushed as an acceptable form of discipline by several groups. Now in most places it is illegal to do it in public. I know here it is ok to spank your child as long as it isn't done in a public setting and no marks are left.

i will answer this for the Canadian human beings. Spanking isn't unlawful in Canada. The best courtroom ruled that a figure might want to apply sensible actual punishment (spanking) on a baby as a lot as 13. the guidelines for what's a sensible spanking potential the outcomes can purely be transitory in nature, that has been oftentimes primary as 24 hours. that is the authorities's view purely.

Lord, what next?
Yes, it is illegal and considered a form of abuse in many, probably most, states.
No wonder so many of our kids are so rotten these days...
Check with you local prosecutor.
And remember, some folks don't know the difference between a spanking and a beating. That's where the problem is...and why we have these laws now. It's a thin line between abuse and discipline these days.
Good luck.

Spanking is not illegal. Beating is illegal and there is a difference between the two.

you know i just watched the same montel show and apparently it is illegal in the 50 states of america but then he had mentioned the contradicting phrase of using a weapon to inflict any pain so i am just as confused as you are.

Spanking and beating are two different things.
Some extremists would like you to believe that they are one in the same.
Kids are growing up without bounds or consequences and we wonder WHY kids are getting in more trouble today than in any other time in the past. Tie the parents hands and you get bad/lawless kids.
what the hell is happening to the world!!???

i was spanked as a kid and i turned out great. i'm going to spank my kids, just don't spank in anger. if your kid gets you mad send them to their room, cool off, ask the child if he/she knows what they did wrong, and then spank. hold your child after and tell them you love them. i wouldn't spank after 11 or 12. grounding works.
i live in ohio and i don't think spanking is illegal. as long as you don't beat the kid and cause bruises or scars.

when it comes to children spanking is not illegal, spanking that leave scars, bruises, marks etc. can be considered cruel and unusual punishment.
