Delaware became the first state in the in the nation to effectively outlaw corporal discipline of children by their parents… the legislation creates a definition of the term “physical injury” in the child abuse and neglect laws to include “pain.”

Under the new law, a parent causing “physical injury” (e.g., pain) to a child under age 18 would be guilty of a class A misdemeanor and subject to one year in prison. A parent causing pain to a child who was 3 years of age or younger would be guilty of a class G felony and subject to two years in prison.

I wonder how many Delaware preachers will use Acts 5:29 as their text this Sunday.

I wonder how many Delaware preachers will use Acts 5:29 as their text this Sunday.

I wonder how many Delaware preachers will send copies of their sermons to the state legislature. I would.

Why is it that my voice always seems to be loudest when I am saying the dumbest things?

Delaware doesn’t like parents who love their children. Progressives and clueless christians everywhere cheer.

1 Kings 8:60 - so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God and that there is no other.

The problem with making ‘pain’ the criteria is that if a parent is restraining a child from something potentially harmful, they could, in fact, inflict pain and cause minor injury. It isn’t just about spanking. Holding a child’s arm to keep them from running in a parking lot can leave finger bruises.

speak to corporal punishment specifically, but includes pain under the definition of physical injury-

(j) “Physical injury” to a child shall mean any impairment of physical condition or pain.

Corporal punishment would fall under the category of inflicting pain. Ergo.
