> Mass. Court Hears Case On Child Spanking
> Fox News
>
> The highest state court in Massachusetts heard arguments Monday about
> whether spanking a child constituted abuse or was just good
> discipline. The state's Department of Social Services, which
> considers spanking child abuse if it causes tissue swelling, filed
> abuse charges against Donald Cobble, a pastor who spanked his son
> Judah after he brought home a bad report card. It then offered to
> drop the charges if the pastor agreed to stop spanking Judah. Cobble
> refused.
