Woman Sent To Prison For Spanking Own Child by tonte23(m): 3:11pm On Jun 20, 2011
Rosalina Gonzales had pleaded guilty to a felony charge of injury to a child for what prosecutors had described as a "pretty simple, straightforward spanking case." They noted she didn't use a belt or leave any bruises, just some red marks.


CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (CBS) -- A judge in Corpus Christi, Texas had some harsh words for a mother charged with spanking her own child before sentencing her to probation.

"You don't spank children today," said Judge Jose Longoria. "In the old days, maybe we got spanked, but there was a different quarrel. You don't spank children."

Rosalina Gonzales had pleaded guilty to a felony charge of injury to a child for what prosecutors had described as a "pretty simple, straightforward spanking case." They noted she didn't use a belt or leave any bruises, just some red marks.

As part of the plea deal, Gonzales will serve five years probation, during which time she'll have to take parenting classes, follow CPS guidelines, and make a $50 payment to the Children's Advocacy Center.

She was arrested back in December after the child's paternal grandmother noticed red marks on the child's rear end. The grandmother took the girl, who was two years-old at the time, to the hospital to be checked out.

Gonzales who doesn't have custody of the child or her other two children, is trying to get them back, but until CPS feels she is ready the kids are living with their paternal grandmother.

And we ask why the kids are going crazy these days

Did she lose custody of the kids before or after the spanking

Just one useless claim by her ex's mother and her life and the lives of her children are messed up forever. She should've spent more time worrying about where her son disappeared to, since obviously he wasn't there to recieve custody of his kids.

There is more to the story. It seems the woman does not even have custody of her own children to begin with. something had to have happened for her to have lost custody of all her children. If she was just having visitation and during that short visitation period she spanked the girl then i think her mother in law had reason to take the action she did. Unless of course I am not understanding what the article says

Since the children all live with their paternal grandmother it seems that they were taken from her based on this spanking incident. I don't think they would have previously removed two other kids and placed them with the grandmother, only to leave one behind.

For that to be the case the grandmother would have had to take her to court before and if that was the case she wouldn't have sent her two-year old over for a visit.

It seems that they were never returned after the spanking incident. They usually immediately take all the children when there is an abuse allegation like this. cry

It is insane. That grand mother is an idiot. If truly your daughter in law spanked your grand daughter why take her to the hospital. Obviously this mother in law was just looking to hurt her daughter in law. Her own useless son that she raised is nowhere to be found but she wants to take another womans children so she gets another chance to ruin another generation of children. The system is totally screwed up. Don't spank kids or we will arrest you but the same system will be happy to throw that same kid in jail at the age of 18 when they decide to cross the boundaries that you never allowed their parents give them in the first place
