I do not agree. My legislators are not telling me I can't spank my kids.
And, if they are telling me that, they are telling me in response to court
decisions that call pretty much any sort of discipline as abusive. You could
be right, but my instinct is that legislative action in this arena is
reactive to judicial review.

In my example of the homeschool and CPS, the courts clearly jumped into an
area of state law that is covered and works -- schooling -- and forced a
family to send kids to school, and the court did it in such a manner that
all home schools in the state may be shut down. The court is doing this, not
the legislators.
