Spanking Your Child: A Felony

In Corpus Christi, Texas, it's a felony to spank your child and leave red marks:

Judge has harsh words for Mom before sentencing her for spanking her kid

Rosalina Gonzales had pleaded guilty to a felony charge of injury to a child for what prosecutors had described as a "pretty simple, straightforward spanking case." They noted she didn't use a belt or leave any bruises, just some red marks.

"You don't spank children today," said Judge Jose Longoria. "In the old days, maybe we got spanked, but there was a different quarrel. You don't spank children."

Rosalina Gonzales had pleaded guilty to a felony charge of injury to a child for what prosecutors had described as a "pretty simple, straightforward spanking case." They noted she didn't use a belt or leave any bruises, just some red marks.

As part of the plea deal, Gonzales will serve five years probation, during which time she'll have to take parenting classes, follow CPS guidelines, and make a $50 payment to the Children's Advocacy Center.

She was arrested back in December after the child's paternal grandmother noticed red marks on the child's rear end. The grandmother took the girl, who was two years-old at the time, to the hospital to be checked out.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: am I ever glad I never had children, much less had to raise them in this current Leftist environment.

Spanking your child is now a felony.

So in lieu of that, one applies what, pray tell? Sarcasm?

And note, if you will, it's not sufficient that the mother be placed on probation; she needs mental governmental reprogramming as well. Coming soon to a local court near you, if it isn't already present.

In the meantime, we need to let more druggies, pedophiles, armed robbers, gangbangers and murderers out of our prisons because, after all, I'm sure that spanking placed them right where they are and conditions are bad in prisons.

So remember: if a child is crying, a parent needs to be jailed.
