This judge needs to be smacked.
A judge in Corpus Christi, Texas some harsh words for a mother charged with spanking her own child, before sentencing her to probation.
“You don’t spank children today,” said Judge Jose Longoria. “In the old days, maybe we got spanked, but there was a different quarrel. You don’t spank children.”
Rosalina Gonzales had pleaded guilty to a felony charge of injury to a child for what prosecutors had described as a “pretty simple, straightforward spanking case.” They noted she didn’t use a belt or leave any bruises, just some red marks.
As part of the plea deal, Gonzales will serve five years probation, during which time she’ll have to take parenting classes, follow CPS guidelines, and make a $50 payment to the Children’s Advocacy Center.
She was arrested back in December after the child’s paternal grandmother noticed red marks on the child’s rear end. The grandmother took the girl, who was two years-old at the time, to the hospital to be checked out.
Gonzales doesn’t have custody of the child or her other two children. She is trying to get them back, but until CPS feels she is ready the kids are living with their paternal grandmother.

“You don’t spank children??” Scuse me, but lack of any discipline is why a lot of kids end up in gangs, in prison, and dead. What’s scary is that morons like Longoria are in a position to hand down tyrannical rulings like this, which infringe on the rights of parents to raise their own children. There’s a big difference between child abuse and the ‘straightforward spanking’ described by the prosecutors, which brings me to another point: What in the hell were they thinking when they decided to bring this to court?
The judgement of Longoria and the prosecutors is not well calibrated. This kind of intrusion into the American family is indicative of a government run amok.
My mom, who was a 5’2″ Scots-Irish-German-Cherokee firecracker, would have told Longoria: “If you want to raise my kids, be my guest. Feed them, clothe them, and when they misbehave, mete out whatever “punishment” you see fit. For all seven of them.”

How can we impeach this judge BEFORE his term expires this year? He needs an embarrassment since he is an embarrassment. He is openly. blattantly against the laws of the state on whose bench he sits rendering “justice.” In Texas, the Bible is still revered, where instruction on raising children is clear: spare the rod, spoil the child; If you don’t spank them, you don’t love them. I was well loved; my children were well-loved, my grand-children are being well-loved. Those spankings left us knowing that we should flee any form of evil, including Judge Longoria. C’mon somebody with the know-how: take this to the higher court for this woman and protect us all who are busy attending the arrogance in our children’s souls by attacking their little rear-ends!
Here is the lesson taught by the State. We will teach you that you have no interest in your children other than what we give you. We will teach your children that they will find safety and security in us; and if, upon reaching an age which we determine is reasonable, we will beat, torture, or jail them for their disobedience. Parents are hereby declared, impotent and the State omnipotent.

Judge doesn’t know Texas law regarding parent-child relationship. Clearly outline by the Texas Penal Code. You can only assume this idiot “misstated” his instructions.
