Kentucky officials say syndicated advice columnist John Rosemond violated state
law by giving old-school, no-nonsense parenting advice without a proper license.

Kentucky says the tough-love advice he dispensed to a reader about dealing with a
spoiled child amounted to the “unlawful practice of psychology” in the state.

Here's the best part (IMHO):

    ... the Kentucky attorney general’s office told Law Blog that the
cease-and-desist letter
    was drafted by a staff attorney acting as a general counsel to the
psychology board and
    referred questions to the board. Law Blog reached out to the board
for comment but did
    not immediately hear back.

The OAG did not even write the order. Its like the god damn lobbyist
writing legislation in the US (which happens quite frequently, as I
understand).
