We have a law that allows the spanking of children in Colorado. The sad part is that we needed to write a law at all. Corporal punishment of your own child is not a crime. Unfortunately, parents are fearful of disciplining their children because they are afraid some busybody will have CPS waiting on their doorstep when they get home.
I am a cashier at a large retailer and we go through the issue of unruly, destructive, undisciplined children raging through the store almost daily. Screaming fits, throwing merchandise, breaking merchandise, you name it. The parents do nothing and the rest of the public pays for the destruction. They are afraid to do anything and we cannot do anything either. We just clean up the mess and raise the prices.
