When is a child too old to spank? Or is corporal punishment less about age, and more about the infraction?
Recently a prominent lawyer in Portland, Maine was arrested and charged with “spanking” his 20-year old daughter. And what was the transgression that enraged the father? Try a $5000 phone bill:
A parent should be permitted to determine the proper punishment for their child, as long as it is within reason. But this “child” is 20-years old! She is 20-years old, living in his house, and apparently he is still paying her cell-phone bill. Gee, no red-flags there!
I am glad the charges were dropped. Now I only hope the father has the fortitude to let his daughter “find her place in the world.” Translation: Boot her butt out the door, find a job, and see how hard a person has to work to pay for a $5000 phone bill. Spoiled Brat!
