When a Brockton, Massachusetts mother decided to spank her 5-year old in front of patrons at a local supermarket, she had no idea what she was in for.
Marie Lyssa Mars was shopping with her son at a Shaw’s supermarket last week when she began spanking her son while waiting in a checkout line. Reportedly, patrons asked her to stop, but she continued to spank him. After leaving to go home, she was pulled over by police and arrested. Patrons made note of her license plate number and reported what they saw. When stopped by police and questioned about spanking him, Mars said her son was a very active child and she was just disciplining him.
Mars, 42, has pleaded not guilty to charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on a child under 14. She is being held on $5,000 bail and is due back in court on March 3rd. In the meantime, her son has been turned over to the Department of Children and Families.

BMWK – what are your thoughts on spanking as a form of discipline? If you use this form, do you ever spank your children in public?
We’ve not seen the video, so I don’t know exactly the extent of the whooping. However, I will say from an Old School POV, a lot of us would be in Foster Care if this same situation occurred back in the day..
So true .we allow so many stuff out here .But spanking your child is a crime.Makes no sense.
Then why are you anonymous?
Shut up
I have to question how much she was spanking him if she was asked to stop, and then kept going. I mean, how many times did she really need to hit him in public? I was raised the old school, but I’ve also seen people take “spanking” too far. Sounds like she may have…
i bet it was white people who did that and thats why there kids be on drugs poppin pills cause they dont discipline there kids and black people need to stop that out in street they want yo get rid of us
Firstly – why in the WORLD are you pulling race into this? Sheesh. Are you a bigot? Secondly, please make sense in your post or don’t post at all.
So we love in a society where you can shoot a person in daylight or night time,unarmed, and say you felt threatened but you can’t discipline your own kids.

Definitely believe that that you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the net the simplest factor to take note of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed at the same time as other folks consider issues that they plainly don’t realize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the entire thing without having side-effects , other people could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thanks
