Will a Law Against Smacking Really Protect A Child?
There are laws to protect individuals from harm ,laws to protect spouses from one another and now we are entering into the most deepest relation that of a child and a parent, a law to protect the child from its parents .Will it really deliver what it purports to?

i think they should be smacked. my children are smacked and they dont do whatever it was they had done again. they should also bring back canes in public schools but they wouldnt get caned on the hand more like a sore smack on the backside with a whip thats what was used on us at skool and i dont regret it! |

I'm not sure how much good changing the law will do. I'm 20 and my dad used to wallop me regardless of what anyone said. I threatened to call the police once and he just said I'd get a beating if I did! Mind you my dad was a bit of a monster, he used to use a belt to him me, buckle end. It damn well hurt and it didn't do me any good, I just learn't not to get caught! I'm still quite terrified of my dad, he's 6'7" and about 25 stone, so you can imagine how terrifying he was when I was a kid! Basically there was no love or respect, only fear! I'm not sure that a man like him would have stopped hitting me because of a law, I think it will only affect people who use smacking as a nuclear option anyway! |

Everything takes time. It's a start to shame those that think smacking is ok now because the law doesnt say otherwise. |

I live on a council estate. I see mother's not sending their children to school, I dont know anyone else who reads to their children at bed times. I see lazy parents ignoring today what a smack will put right tomorrow. Most of these children are already damaged, and these parents will see their grandchildren suffer the same way, and they will have to sit back and look at the damage they have done. Unfortunately it is too late then. Laziness and a basic lack of intelligence is the problem and parenting classes should be made compulsory. If they spent as much time talking to their children as they do ignoring them while they sup tea in each other's houses, we would get back to the fact that parenting is a job, not a ticket to doing nothing all day. This will only upset the ones that know it's true! |
