Kansas Lawmaker: Spank Kids Until Black and Blue
Read Time:1 Minute, 1 Second
I’m pretty sure most courts in the land would take judicial notice of the fact they grow them crazy in Kansas (it’s called Kansas Krazy). What with their science hating, bible banging, homophobia, not to mention the whole abortion thing these are some irrational folk indeed. The latest nuttiness to come out of the Kansas legislature will do little to dispel that thinking.
A Kansas lawmaker is proposing a bill that would allow teachers, caregivers, and parents to spank children hard enough to leave marks. Current Kansas law allows spanking that doesn’t leave marks.
A Democrat from Wichita (and yes even the democrats are Kansas Krazy) says she wants to allow up to 10 strikes of the hand and that could leave redness and bruising. Rep. Gail Finney has introduced a bill that would also would allow parents to give permission to others to spank their children, but it would continue to ban hitting a child with fists, in the head or body, or with a belt or switch.
Finney says she wants to restore parental rights, and improve discipline. But Rep. John Rubin, chairman of the House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee, says he isn’t sure the committee will even consider the bill.

I tell you what, the first person that would hit one of my yet to be here’s, there would be hell to pay. You don’t hit kids EVER, they are not your possessions. I forget what movie I saw this quote in but it applies, you touch my kid and you won’t just get a scene you will get a Broadway musical. Ahh, I remember it now Kellie Preston said it to a woman who was going to smack Amanda Bynes’ character. What a Girl Wants, nice little rom com.
So child assault and battery should be legal in Kansas? If you hit an adult like that (without their permission, Jess) you would go to jail.
Right on
