Discipline Your Children
A global children's rights treaty, ratified by every U.N. member except the United States and Somalia, has so alarmed its American critics that some are now pushing to add a parental rights amendment to the Constitution as a buffer against it.
The result is a feisty new twist to a long-running saga over the U.N. Convention on the Rights of The Child. The nearly 20-year-old treaty has ardent supporters and opponents in the United States, and both sides agree that its chances of ratification—while still uncertain—are better under the Obama administration than at any point in the past.

It's a gift.
A useless one, but a gift none-the-less.

{Sinbad mode] You have to beat your children every day. Somebody comes up to you in the supermarket and says "oh dear, you must not beat that child." You KNOW they don't have children. Parents? They'll HELP you beat your children."

Speak roughly to your little boy
And beat him when he sneezes
He only does it to annoy
Because he knows it teases
