Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die.
Well it is obvious that this nurse and the lawmakers overlooking this particular issue are not Christians.
Proverbs 14:12
There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
It may seem right to them to forbid spankings, but in the end it will lead to death.
It will lead to the death of this child's discipline. It will lead to the death of this child's submission to authority. It may lead to the death of his parents dreams of success for their child. It may lead to the death of this child's freedom from jail. It may lead to the death of another man at this child's hands.
I can go on, but I trust the point is made. Lord help us.
