The vast amount of Americans would agree with Cruz on this issue. A number of them wouldn't mind if Cruz administered the spanking personally.
Cruz's response is rather unremarkable. That kid has problems with boundaries, to put it mildly.
Spanking is assault, punishable by imprisonment.
That's not the case in the U.S.
Sadly. I disagree with the courts. They're supposed to make rulings without prejudice. Assault is assault, in my book.
No. Spanking is not assault. Throwing your kid down the stairs is assault.
