Police used to be people that communities could trust and look up to but now I'm not so sure anymore...

WTH?? I thought liberals were against any form of physical dicipline let alone punishment of any child?? While I avoid spanking whenever I can, my husband will resort to it when my sons are continuously being defiant or talking back, but he never spanks to the point of bruising...isn't that the definition of child abuse??

While I support giving parents protection and the right to spank or discipline their children...I don't think hitting them to the point of bruising and leaving marks is reasonable.

Highlights:

Proposed bill in Kansas would allow teachers, caregivers and parents to spank children hard enough to leave marks

State Representative Gail Finney says she wants to allow up to 10 strikes of the hand and that could leave redness and bruising 

"A Kansas lawmaker is proposing a bill that would allow teachers, caregivers and parents to spank children hard enough to leave marks.

As Obama declares he will start enforcing laws with his pen and phone, therefore bypassing Congress and unilaterally implementing regulations and creating laws at his descretion...we find out more about the direction he wants to take our schools.

New York Post: 

Last month, President Obama declared he’ll “act on my own,” that he doesn’t need Congress to exercise his power.“We’re not just going to be waiting for legislation. I’ve got a pen . . . and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions,” he asserted. “One of the things that I’m going to be talking to my Cabinet about is how do we use all the tools available to us.”He’s already made good on his promise to act unilaterally — delaying the ObamaCare mandate on businesses again last week and changing the rules for immigration enforcement.But what Obama didn’t say is that, behind the scenes, he’s radically increasing the government’s reach. His tools aren’t laws or even executive orders — it’s thousands of new pages of new rules in the Federal Register, the nation’s official book of regulations, controlling everything from home finance to car deals to city zoning.An unelected, unappointed shadowy network of leftie advocates are rewriting these rules — posing a direct threat to Congress’ legislative authority. Yet alarmingly few lawmakers are aware of its clout. Likewise, few in the private sector know about its unchecked power and influence over business and finance — or even local housing and school policies. 

"Schools can’t suspend bullies"
One troubling new area of regulation: rules for discipline at your children’s schools, so that teachers can no longer kick students who misbehave out of the classroom. They’re relaxing the protocols for punishing even violent kids, compounding fears about classroom safety in a post-Newtown world."

Read more.... 

With this new revelation... It's no wonder Obama and other democrats oppose school choice, they want to control not only what our children learn but how we discipline our children. Somehow for a former Constitutional scholar he has forgotten his oath of office to the Constitution, which states in Article II that he is responsible for enforcing laws,he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, not rewriting laws or creating new laws without the legislative branch. 

As parents it is our duty to stand up for our children and decide what is best for our schools and their safety. Keeping disruptive students in class will only hinder a successful learning environment and will only reward bad behavior. We must fight against these new policies and regulations that lessen the standards we expect of our own children and demand better from our schools, the federal government and those who are responsible for enforcing the laws in our country.

Imagine that....stop coddling the kids and let them be kids, let them learn and learn to respect one another without the adults interfering in their natural ability to play and get along. Sure adult supervision should still exist, and intervention or redirection is needed at times, but stop coddling the kids, setting them up to fail with strict rules and let them learn through play, have fun and eventually they will grow up to be healthy, active and productive citizens like the rest of us.

I know when I was growing up there were not all these restrictive rules on play and kids could play kickball, dodge-ball, tag, cowboys and Indians, etc without adults saying it was too rough or insulting and kids were more active, less obese and more likely to get along through learning cooperative learning and group skills. Now days if a kid is called 'stupid' other kids are tattle telling right away. It seems kids today need to learn to know the difference between teasing,joking around play and actual bullying. Now days everything is bullying or harmful and they are growing up more obese, less active and overly sensitive. In result, we have more kids committing suicide and going on shooting sprees because they aren't learning how to cope with their emotions and overcome teasing and name calling or they are afraid to play.

Breitbart:

Chaos may reign at Swanson Primary School with children climbing trees, riding skateboards and playing bullrush during playtime, but surprisingly the students don't cause bedlam, the principal says.

The school is actually seeing a drop in bullying, serious injuries and vandalism, while concentration levels in class are increasing.

Principal Bruce McLachlan rid the school of playtime rules as part of a successful university experiment.

"We want kids to be safe and to look after them, but we end up wrapping them in cotton wool when in fact they should be able to fall over."

Such a tragedy and sad end to this story. While reports now say the baby was not "viable'' and was deformed likely led to the reason the judge may have decided in favor of the husband, I find it hard to imagine any mom and reasonable person would not want to let time take its course and let the baby live. Doctors have been wrong before about abnormalities with the fetus and children have gone on to live full and healthy lives. In another example, here is a page dedicated to children born with Hydranencephaly,born without a brain, who are alive and loved today: http://www.hydranencephalyfoundation.org/

It's sad that even before this 'non viable' diagnosis was given the family still didn't care and wanted to take her off of life support, claiming the mother would never have wanted to be kept on life support. However, did anyone ever ask her if she were pregnant if she would want to be kept on life support to try and save her baby?? I'm sure if she had considered this possibility before ever making the statement she would have wanted to save her baby. I can't imagine a family that wanted nothing to do with the baby and made no effort to try and save the baby. Even if the prognosis was right, who wouldn't want to at least have a chance to hold the baby and kiss them goodbye before their short lived life ended? The baby was 22 weeks and was two weeks short of being medically identified as "viable".  What was the harm in waiting two more weeks!?? May God save their souls and the mother and child RIP.
