To Beat Or Not To Beat

is not the question in A Dark Day for Children in Wyoming The answer is, it is abuse.

The rejection of the HB 68 – is the foundation of a dark future for children in Wyoming. Congratulations to you, Bill Hawks, and all the others who laughed. You all became, in that moment, supporters of CHILD ABUSE.

"Senator Bill Hawks, R- Casper, caused some of his colleagues and some in the audience to break into laughter when he said, "I got my fanny paddled on a fairly regular basis and, Madam Chairman, look how good I turned out."

Yes, Bill Hawks how did you turn out? You became an abuser.

Bill Hawks was paddled and now he wants other children to feel the same pain.
Is this what you are aiming for as a Senator?


Everyone who voted No on HB 68 became a part of creating the next generation of adults abused as children, who must live with the results of early trauma which will result in PTSD, anxiety, depression and dysfunction.

The lack of education and empathy among the law-makers on how damaging child abuse is, prevents us from moving forward in non-violent parenting and child-care, and guarantees another generation of abusers.

Your comments are welcome.
