Bullies have existed since time immemorial, and they still exist everywhere, from the workplace to the community, and as always, in the schoolyard.
It would be nice if that unpleasant reality of interpersonal relations could be eliminated, but the question is how.
Bullies don’t usually respond to reason or cajoling, but they often do respond to brute force. Many of us remember being tested by the school bully, finally standing up to him and planting a solid punch right on his nose, and suddenly seeing the bully turn into a reasonable, even pleasant human being. This applies to raising kids in general, where the bully child constantly tests the parent and sometimes only responds to brute force rather than cajoling and pleading.
The problem is that liberals and lefty politicians have fallen for the whole “self esteem” movement, so kids are given way too much power and never experience a reprimand more forceful than a “time out.” And to make sure that is so, laws have been passed so that any discipline more forceful that “let’s reason together, Johnny,” or “please go to your quiet spot Susie” is seen as violent child abuse, to be punished by incarceration or having the children removed from the parents care. Now a new city ordinance in Shawano, Wisconsin puts parents in a double bind, and there is a good deal of confusion and disagreement about how fair the ordinance is.

Great idea!!
Lol that actually seems like a good idea
Illegal but in this regime any things possible
wow..next they will be telling people to spank their kids so they don’t grow up to be arseholes..soon meme’s will appear saying there are more uses for wooden spoons than stirring stew…
i was bullied growing up and if it wasnt for that i would have never started lifting weights or doing martial arts.
Good luck with that. The progressive agenda has made parents irrelevant!! Hillary’s it take a village. The government is the baby daddy in to many cases.
Parents SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE for what their little bratty kids do!
What about people who have brains rather than brawn?
How will this teach kids accountability? It shows the bullies they can do whatever and somebody else has to pay for it.
S**t fire print the whole damn headline if you want people to read this c**p
