I agree! The media is going crazy over this... of course they didn't mention how Leah was totally over her spanking and playing in another picture while Kate was talking to the policeman! Leave these people alone... ridiculous.

Why are these folks so famous? Who cares about a couple with a bunch of kids in PA? I live in PA and my daughter babysits for the folks down the block from us, who have 8 kids, including 2 sets of twins. Who cares? Seriously.

As for spanking a child, is that a cop I see there? Are you kidding? Seriously, life has become like Idiocracy. Next we will all be watching "OW My Balls".

spare the rod, spoil the child..

its biblical.

that woman is not perfect, but who of us is?

She's a monster for selling her kids on a tv show. Not for this.

Really, kids need discipline...if you keep raising them with the "not hitting" BS they'll behave like tiny tyrants now and in the future, get ready to deal with the most annoying teenagers ever. I'm NOT saying that kids should be beaten up. But a good old smack is not only normal, it's necessary sometimes.

They Rack Disaprine!

i like maddy and cara's face :DDD

I am a liberal and I totally believe in spanking. I don't think it is always warranted, but a necessary evil sometimes. Keeps kids in line!

OMDLBJ she spanked her kid. hell i had to go fetch the material i was going to get spanked with, be it a belt or a tiny branch. the media needs to get better material.

Someone else mentioned it and I agree. There is something about Kate that turns me on too. Perhaps it is because she is so controlling I would like to get a big steamy argument with her than have hot sweaty after argument sex. Call me crazy, cause I think she is.

since when has spankings not been allowed?? I recieved them and turned out fine, but my brother was the one that came home yelling "you can't touch me, cfs said so!!!"

I grew up in the south, and I had to cut a branch from a wheeping willow tree, with which I would be switched. That friggin' thing stung like a thousand needles. I would have WELCOMED the palm of my punisher over a switch anyday.

I despise reality TV shows, and frequently those who star in them, but COME ON. She spanked a kid for being disobedient. That's parenting. The kid doesn't have scars or bruises, and next time she'll think twice before deliberately defying her mother less than 10 seconds after receiving an order to "stop blowing the whistle while mommy's on the phone."

Since when did a mom spanking an unruly daughter become NEWSWORTHY????

I agree. I spank my kids and I'm not on the news EVER!!

Parents have the right to discipline their kids as they see fit, but I think this woman is horrible. She puts her kids through all of this media attention for $$$ and she really doesn't even seem all that involved with them anymore. She is so nasty. I hope she sets up a trust fund for all of their future therapy bills. *She did look pretty hot in that bikini though*

This is terrible, the only news they could find is that a mother, in order to educate their children, spanked her daughter. We have such a decadent society, I feel sorry for all of us.

The problem with this fucked up world is the shit little bastards we're spitting out. Kids need a fucking good smack that's why they're all cheeky little cunts. Saying that she is a bitch, but hey

What do you tell a girl with two black eyes?

Are you trying to be a smart ass.......

Nothing, you already told her twice.

giving a disobedient child a spanking is probably the LEAST disturbing thing I have seen regarding these two and their brood.

these people are inescapable. I'm so sick of them, I'm considering growing my own food so I can stave off trips to the grocery. please story, please run your course, please, I'm begging here

Here's the deal...whether you agree with it or not...It is not against the law to spank your child. If I blew the whistle while my mom was on the phone? She'd wear my ass out with a fly swatter. Good times, that.

Uhh...yeah...big deal. I got plenty of spankings as a kid. The whole no spanking deal is just another reason why America is full of "pantie-wastes" now and is on the fast track down the toilet.

Ummm, I used to get; the wooden spoon, metal spatula, father's belt, back hand w/ rings, front hand slap, spankings, slap to the back of the head, and my favorite, extension cord.

Why is a little spanking so bad? "SHE HIT HER KIDS, RABLE RABLE RABLE!". Are people so uptight they dont believe in a little discipline for when kids act up?

About the "on the phone" thing, my mom used to kick my ass if I did something like Leah, while still talking on the phone. Its no big deal. Adds character and respect.

Those 8 innocent exploited faces deserve better than KON. They deserve foster care (so long as they all stay in the same house). I'd take my chances on a foster parents doing a better job raising those kids than those MONSTERS!!!

whats wrong with America - everything you whinny roaches who wont spank your kids stand for - kill all the liberal whinny *&^%$ and America becomes great again

Oh its Liberals who dont spank? Far as I see its the other way around. Everyone I know whos a ''liberal'' actually spanks there kids. On the other hand its the ''man in the clouds fearing churchy conservatives'' who dont lift a hand.

I think Lewis needs a spanking. Stereotype much?

I can totally understand where she's coming from. I'm sure the author doesn't have one kid, let alone 8 of them. It looks like it was just a little swat, not a beat down. Of course, little swats don't sell copies.

I got a few when I was growing.........didn't seem to effect me to much. I do have an unexplained twitch......LOL!

Just kidding.

I have 3 kids and they get a good smack on the rear every once and a while....try it, it does work!

I'm not into all the BS about why you should not spank your kids; i've been around far too many that needed their little chaps slapped.

Why do these people get publicity? Besides their show of course. Ive NEVER heard anyone talk of them out loud.

Anyway. She is a monster!

jk.

Im not against spanking kids, I dont have any yet, but I do believe that sometimes discipline is needed.

no one cares

She turns me on for some weird reason. Kids need a good spanking every now and again. what's the big deal?

I agree
