Madison Heights, a suburb of Detroit has designated 10 city-owned properties as "No-Hit Zones" in an effort to prevent parents from spanking their children.





LINK

quote:

Members of the Madison Heights City Council said it's time for parents to raise children differently, so there will be no spankings at these locations.


quote:

Soltis is a health care administrator who believes spanking children does more harm in the long run.

There are no tickets or penalties for parents who violate the new policy. The signs are supposed to start a conversation to stop child abuse.





Now the government wants to tell you how to discipline your children. Welcome to 2018 people.

If there are no penalties at all then this is just advertising a viewpoint, something governments do all the time. It has no more legal force than those road signs flashing how fast you're going. You're entirely welcome to ignore it.

So much work to be a few days behind the original thread. Such a sad fail.

How about "no shooting" zones instead?

Same here. Falsely accusing somebody of being racist? No problem! It started a "conversation."

Yea, but the "conversation" aspect of this advertisement is so in future ballots they can get votes to ban public spanking.

Didn't see it after searching "no hit zones" so the original OP must've created a terrible post.

Mine probably has more information anyway...so I'm not upset about it.

Here's the conversation:

"Mind your own damned business and fix the potholes in the streets. I'm going to spank my children whether you think it's a good idea or not."

Wow, they're really out there on the frontier with this whole "don't spank your kids" thing

Is this 1994?

This is borderline ok with. No fines or penalties, so they are not dictating how I raise my child, but they are peacefully saying, please do not in this area, I am ok with it.
