This thread is about a law designed to stop people from smacking babies 3 and under.

We also have a story about a man who shot a 4 year old with a BB gun.

Smacking babies and shooting toddlers with BB guns is abuse.

IMHO.

From earlier, no I'm not defending anyone shooting kids with BB guns. Nor am I advocating a "freedom" for beating babies. As conformfailue pointed out, there are laws that handle things like child abuse and such things and they obviously have swiftly taken care of such actions. If a baby is being "beaten" or "abused" then there will be ways to prove such actions were different from behavior modification and it will be taken care of. More laws, more laws, more laws into other peoples lives is unecessary.

Seldom is it the case that a parent beats the kid for crying for hunger or diaper wetting, so I don't really know why you think this comprises the majority of behavior modification actions.
