Back in December 2011, Rosalia Gonzales of Corpus Christi, AZ was arrested for spanking her two year old daughter.
“You don’t spank children today. In the old days, maybe we got spanked, but there was a different quarrel”, Judge Jose Longoria told Gonzales. “You don’t spank children. You understand?”
To which Gonzales answered, “Yes, sir”. Gonzales subsequently lost custody of all 3 of her children, sentenced to 5 years’ probation, and ordered to pay a small fee to the Children’s Advocacy Center.
Spanking has slowly declined as arrests for child abuse-related charges increased. In Spears’s case, she was simply trying to prevent her sons from joining a life of crime.
