Current Kansas law allows spanking that doesn&#8217;t leave marks. Rep. Gail Finney, a Democrat from Wichita, says she wants to allow up to 10 strikes of the hand and that could leave redness and bruising. The bill also would <strong>allow parents to give permission to others to spank their children,<\/strong> but it would continue to ban hitting a child with fists, in the head or body, or with a belt or switch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyParagraph\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\">Finney says she wants to restore parental rights, and improve discipline. But Rep. John Rubin, chairman of the House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee, says he isn&#8217;t sure the committee will even consider the bill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyParagraph\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\">No this is not a joke it&#8217;s for real, is this a good idea and <strong>could we see it extended throughout Europe<\/strong>?
