 | People are talking about that mom who slapped her daughter in a parking lot. Everybody is outraged. Or are they? Maybe that sort of thing is just the ticket in Florida. Consider that the man named on August 15 by Gov. Jeb Bush to head Florida's child welfare agency, Jerry Regier, is an evangelical Christian who views spanking that causes ''bruises or welts'' as acceptable punishment. About the little girl. The AP reports that: The girl showed no visible signs of injuries. So, according to Jeb's appointee, a parent would be perfectly justified beating a child even harder than the Indiana mom did. |
