cannot ignore the fine lines between spanking and abusive behavior in

In the US, corporal punishment is considered cruel and unusual punmishment
for
any individual over the age of 18. Why? Corporal punishment is
considered
physically abusive, emotionally abusive, and psychololgically abusive.
For
some strange and bizarre reason, anyone under the age of 18 is exempt from
this
protection.

What does this mean, Dennis? It means that the US allows little children
to be
victimized by the exact same behavior that is considered physically,
emotionally, and psychologically abusive once that little child turns 18.

This is weird logic, Dennis.

LaVonne.. not true at all.

Corporal punishment is considered cruel and unusual punishment by anyone
outside the family, at ANY age. Our judicial system does not use corporal
punishment as a punishment for crimes, nor does our juvenile system.

But take a closer look. Pain and suffering IS an acceptable method of
discipline in the armed forces and guess what, the majority are at the adult
stages of their lives.

So, to be honest, your assertions simply are not well founded here.
