My mom and dad toasted my tail when I earned it, and I am ever so thankful that they did. It was very loving of them to teach me how to be a decent human being when I was young so that I did not have to learn that one they hard way. This is a scripture from Proverbs, but I think it is applicable whether or not you believe in a higher power. "Do not withhold discipline from a child;if you punish them with the rod, they will not die.
Punish them with the rod and save them from death." Note you don't have to use a rod, put in switch/belt/spoon/hand. I love my children very much and whenever they need discipline, I give it because I love them.

I realize this mom messed her self up by pleading guilty, but still it would be nice if judges wishing to be judges in the state of TX would familiarize themselves with TX state law on child abuse. Which states "
Abuse does not include reasonable discipline by a parent/guardian/managing or possessory conservator if child not exposed to substantial risk of harm. Family Code Sec. 261.001.[Ci.] Parent/stepparent/person standing in loco parentis to child is justified to use non-deadly force against a child under 18 when and to degree the actor reasonably believes necessary to discipline, or safeguard or promote child's welfare. Penal Sec. 9.61.[Cr.]" He should have thrown the case out, not accepted a guilty plea.
For heavens sakes I thought yall still had paddling in schools--this judge wants to tell me that a paddling won't leave a "slight red mark" me thinks he has never given nor received a paddling. So the mom can't spank her child, but when the child is 10 and throws a tantrum in school and attacks a officer because they have had no discipline the officer will taze the child, throw them on the ground and cuff them. That is going to leave quite a bit more than a mark. This makes sense.
Tell me TX you are not going to re-elect this official who has not taken even three minutes to google "child dicipline laws in TX."
