Moms need to get every Tuesday off from doing anything important. From bus duty to dinner to laundry to childcare to work (if applicable). Comes along with certificate to a day at the spa and ice cream store!

Ooh I can get behind that.

Any YouTube video with a ClickBait title should be ordered to pay each viewer $100.

Even if you are very against corporal punishment, do you really think that the children
would be better off in foster care???

I can't believe I'm agreeing with you, but I am.

You can agree or disagree with corporal punishment, but in the vast majority of cases, the children of those parents would not be better off in foster care, children's homes, or in adoptive homes.

Thank you.

You can be against corporal punishment without wanting it to be CRIMINALIZED.

Government is too intrusive as it is.

Why is it such a stretch for assault to still be illegal when it's your kid?

Another law I would enact - school districts would be required to undergo a comprehensive fiscal audit annually, and would have to be determined as actually needing additional funding BEFORE they would be allowed to push for tax levies.

No gum chewing in public 🐮

Otherwise the govt should really stop getting so involved. But that’s an important one.

Zehava didn't say she wanted "assault" on children to be criminalized.

Zehava wrote that "corporal punishment" should be criminalized.

Do you think if a parent gives a child a potch for running into the street, the parent should
be arrested???

Do you think if parents potch their kids, the children should be cut off from their parents and
put in FOSTER CARE - which has a much higher rate of neglect and abuse and terrible outcomes???

Exactly the same as if you potch an adult for running into the street.

And if it's illegal, the parents should know better than to break the law. If they still do it when it's illegal, they truly prove themselves unfit.

You think a two year old has the same cognitive capabilities as an adult???

It should be mandatory that every housing unit have some kind of garden or green space available for the residents' use.

I wish all petroleum-based products would be banned, except for medical use. (Yes, I'm referring to plastic)

And all wood should be sustainably harvested.

I don't think cognitive capabilities should be the determining factor for whether or not it's okay to hurt someone.

And not only do two year old children not have the cognitive abilities of an adult, they often don't have the ability to think "This happened because I ran into the street. I won't do that again."

Plenty of evidence that a pitch does stop repeat running in street.

Not 100% for all kids but for most it works.
