Maternal Warmth is NOT Enough!

Thanks for sharing this.  I wasn't aware of it.  I know that Delaware created legislative language in their child abuse laws that including "intent to cause pain," which in essence is a spanking ban.  However, there is also still legislation on the books excluding parents from the assault laws afforded to every adult.  So it is legal and not legal to spank in Delaware.

What really blows my mind is that the press has not picked up this research! 

Thanks SO much for this, Robbyn! Did you see the latest comments made in Pennsylvania about reform of the child abuse laws? http://acesconnection.com/profiles/blogs/pa-legislature-readies-big-changes-to-child-abuse-law  I've tweeted the reporter and another Pennsylvania news outlet. Hard to believe this is the home of the National ACE Summit and folks like Dr. Sandra Bloom.

So incredibly disappointing.  Interestingly, I have had over 6,000 hits on this article in the past two days, so people are definitely interested in the work.

If anyone wants to tweet the reporter, her handle is @KateGiammarise and @PatriotNews is another Pennsylvania news outlet.

Mainstream press stays away from stories that can be of true value so society. I worked in it for 18 yrs; it's a joke. Press has now become puppets of the White House. They just spit out what the gov't tell them...the "official narrative."

Thanks so much for sharing, Robbyn!  :D
