You spank? What? You beat your child? How could you be so heartless? So inhumane? Well, California lawmakers have decided to fix this "problem" by making corporal punishment a disdameanor.

Democratic Assemblywoman Sally Lieber said such a law is needed because spanking victimizes helpless children and breeds violence in society.

"I think it's pretty hard to argue you need to beat a child," Lieber said. "Is it OK to whip a 1-year-old or a 6-month-old or a newborn?"
