This is a very nasty type of legislation. Typical of what we get when lawyers become politicians.

It prepares a trap for those who oppose the bill. They can be asked "Why are you opposed to stopping child abuse?" or "Why are you in favor of beating two-year-old children?".

Normal people will not beat children nor will they sexually abuse or starve them. Nor will they leave a two-year-old locked in a hot car in July while they go shopping. This type of behavior is tragic, but it happens, and no amount of Nanny State meddling will prevent it.
