America’s progressives have been taking many cues from across the Atlantic. A new law that is being touted by progressives in the U.K. is supposedly designed to protect the emotional, physical, intellectual, social, and behavioral development of children. Therefore, if an adult is found in any way to be neglecting these categories of childhood development, they could be tried for child abuse and sentenced to up to 10 years in jail. It would put a de facto freeze on virtually all forms of child discipline, including time-outs, restrictions, and loss of privileges.
For example, if you believe in firm disciplinary measures that happen to hurt your child’s feelings, then you run the risk of being labeled an “abuser” because you have “damaged” your child’s emotional well-being. [Source]
