Supernanny Jo Frost has entered the chat! The reality star shared her reaction to Bachelor alum Madison Prewett and husband Grant Troutt admitting they plan to spank their 6-month-old daughter.
“It holds no benefit for the relationship of the child or for the parent,” Frost, 55, told E! News. “We have laws where it is a criminal offense to commit grievous bodily harm or to hit another adult, and to think that we can just bypass that with our youngest, most vulnerable citizens? They are human beings, too.”
According to Frost, spanking demonstrates a “lack of control” and “emotional regulation” in the parent.
“If we’re going to protect every human being, then we do so for children as well because they are citizens of this country,” she continued, adding that she believes “smacking should be banned in this country.”
Frost’s comments come after the Bachelor Nation star, 29, was hit with a wave of backlash for her stance on disciplining her children.
“It will be hilarious when we start spanking hosanna. Which we will, on the record,” Troutt, 29, shared in a July episode of their “Stay True” podcast. “Because the Bible so clearly says, ‘Folly is bound up in a child.’”
Prewett clarified that the Bible specifically mentions the use of a “rod,” disagreeing with people who say “you can discipline [children] with time outs.”
“There are consequences to disobedience,” she added.
Frost strongly disagreed, saying, “Corporal punishment should be banned.”
“Children that receive that corporal punishment are those that have visible and invisible disabilities,” the famous nanny added.
Listeners seemed to side with Frost’s stance as many called the couple’s views “so upsetting.”
“Hilarious is a wild word with this context,” one follower commented.
“‘The rod’ means to keep them in line like a shepherd would do with their sheep. Not physically beat them with a rod.. ?? A CHILD??” another added.
“The Bible also specifically says to give away all of your wealth… so why aren’t they taking that literal?” a third wrote.
