How could the case decision in your chosen option affect a more modern court ruling on the same topic? Explain.
A parent known for sharing childrearing strategies posts a video to social media. In it, they say "naughty children get spankings" and ask their young child if they will be naughty again. The child cries and says no. A viewer reports the video. When officials visit the home, the parent admits to spanking the child. Officials remove the child for placement with relatives pending a full investigation into potential abuse.
The parent says no abuse occurred, that spanking is effective for correcting misbehavior. They say that the investigation and child's removal is a violation of their civil rights and an unlawful interference with their parental rights. The parent wants their child returned right away, before the investigation is concluded. Based on what you have learned, how do you think the Court would rule in this incident? Explain your reasoning.
