Back when we were all younger spanking kids for discipline was not really something that caused a parent a second's thought. But here in 2022 there is still a raging debate about whether parents should use physical discipline at all, how it can mentally impact kids, at what age should quit using spankings, etc. Listen to this episode as we share out thoughts on what the Court ruled in this case and how it can impact future criminal and family law cases here in Virginia.
