Spanking Could Land You in Jail

Do remember not to spank your kid. Otherwise, you might end up in jail.

Well, that’s if you’re staying in California. Fox News reports that a California assemblywoman has put up for approval a legislation that would outlaw spanking children three and under. Offenders will be sentenced to up to a year’s jail or a fine up to US$1,000.

Thankfully, Singapore is not likely to implement such a ruling. But then again, I don’t see the need to spank Matthew … yet. Even if I have to now, I usually just beat him lightly on his hands to remind him not to do certain things and also tell him ‘NO’.
