Spanking = Felony

[Broncojohnny]

You have to love activist judges. How many thousands of dollars will this cost this woman?

[YALE]

Fuck the law, I have to quote a higher authority, aka my mother, aka the damn devil:
"I don't agree in principle with spanking children, but sometimes they don't give you any choice in the matter."

[STANGGT40]

that judge and grandmother need some intelligence and common sense beaten into them!

[STANGGT40]

This woman must have had the worst lawyer ever, to plea bargain a felony for spanking her child. This is ridiculous.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (CBS) -- A judge in Corpus Christi, Texas had some harsh words for a mother charged with spanking her own child before sentencing her to probation.

"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.

Gonzales who doesn't have custody of the child or her other two children, is trying to get them back, but until CPS feels she is ready the kids are living with their paternal grandmother

your link c&p skills are lacking.

Just asking, but did you read this whole thread and all it's replies?

Judge Longoria needs to be visited with a belt. what a fucking retread.

Hitting a child with a belt is over the top and IS abuse. It's not necessary to hit a kid with a belt to teach them a lesson.

Tell my Dad that.

Sure stopped me from screwing up when I was younger.

And look at you now..

The mother certainly didn't do herself any favors by not having custody of the children. That said, lolwut?


I spank my kids. I'm at the house waiting on authorities to arrest me. If it gets to the point where I have to spank, I'm going to leave a bruise. It's not something I have to do often. In fact, I can't even recall the last time I did. But if I have to whip my kids ass, the whole point is for it to hurt every time they sit down.

Yes. Your posting the law is why I opined its irrelevance.

this is how my parents were, and i can only count on one hand how many times i got spanked, because i knew at an early age what was and wasn't allowed.

Wow..

Not quite as effective as an armbar, but it still gets the job done.

Ahhh, did the poor baby get hit wit a belt?

[BlackGT]

I used to use a wooden spoon to spank my kids when they were younger. 1 swat on the back of the leg is usually all it took to get them to straighten up. Haven't had to use the belt in quite some time either.

They learn quick!
