Vox Pop
A Massachusetts legislator has proposed a bill that would make spanking a child (by a parent) illegal in that state. Currently 29 states have laws to prevent teachers from spanking children. Do you think the decision to use corporal punishment should be a parent's decision or should the government ban it through legislation?

"I think the decision should be left up to the parents." MITT BROOME Broome Brothers Construction "I think the parents should be able to spank their kids." ESSIE SMITH LUKE Retired "It should be the parent's decision." SARAH EDWARDS Grader "I believe that we left Great Britain and formed a new government to remove tyrannical law from our private lives and homes and I think we should refrain from returning to that whole system of government."
