Nanny Police State? Parents Are Calling the Cops to Supervise them Spanking their Children
When people are so dependent upon the police state that they
have to actually call and ask police to come over to their own house to
supervise the discipline of their own child, there might be a problem.
Okeechobee, FL — Parents calling police to make sure they are in compliance with the law prior to spanking their kids is a real concern and becoming a common practice.
As WPBF reports, a Florida father said he wanted to discipline his daughter by paddling her, but did not want to break the law, so he called the Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office to come supervise.
The man’s 12-year-old daughter got into a heated argument with her sister Monday, and the father wanted to discipline his daughter, according to a deputy’s report. A deputy came over to his house, supervised the discipline, and determined it was within legal bounds and that there was no crime, and left, authorities said.
Although it may sound bizarre to some parents, the sheriff’s office has received several similar requests in the past. Undersheriff Noel Stephen said he has personally supervised approximately 12 spankings.
“It happens,” Stephen said. “It’s definitely not something we advertise to do, and even though law enforcement has been willing to help out in this situation, watching a parent discipline their child is something that’s done only when a deputy has no other calls to handle.”
Stephen estimated that he alone, has supervised 12 spankings.
