Wales proposes to ban smacking children.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-42608193The children that I know raised by liberals who never tell them off run riot and are not pleasant to be around. Discipline in a measured controlled way seems to be a sensible solution and parents know better than the State, with the State being there to prevent abuse.
It has always been illegal to assault children so this just gives them something else to threaten their parents with
it will probably be unenforceable anyway
Generation snowflake strikes again
Smacking the backside isn't about beating your kids up, its a about teaching them right from wrong. It gives them a bit of fear, but they won't do what they were doing wrong again.
An initiative obviously invented by a left liberal luvvie who are responsible for the lack of discipline and respect from kids.
I was smacked as a child, hell, I even got a few punches as I was growing up from my old man (when deserved).
Did me good,I also understand the concept of boundaries and respect.
It's pathetic that people would prefer their kids too be such spoiled little swines because they themselves are weak in the head and don't "get" parenting.
And yes, I know my POV is not popular. I do not care.
Ban it or don't ban it - when the day comes that I have children, they will learn right and wrong and how to be a respectable adult by my hand as the parent, whether that be through a smack or some other appropriate punishment. It won't stop me.
Kids will take the biscuit if you let them. Look at how school kids run riot because they know teachers are powerless. This idea is an absurdity.
Over the years we have seen corporal punishment banned in schools and as a consequence, children of all ages lose all respect for their teachers and other adults, and the teachers lose control of the classrooms. This is just another step forward to producing a society that does not understand the meaning of doing wrong. "Spare the rod, spoil the child" is truer now than it as ever been.
Surely the Liberal/Left nanny state knows best.
People should not have opinions nor responsibility, they must do as they're told, in all aspects of their life. They must be good citizens, as defined by the Liberal/Left.
There is no room for independent thought. You will be shouted down and labelled with a newly invented Liberal/Left naughty word if you do.
Look at nature, how does every single primate on earth discipline its young. With a smack. Look at 90% of mammals how do they discipline their young, with a bite.
Psychological torture of the naughty step is not natural. That why we now have a bunch of 20 somethings who get PTSD from failing an exam.
I predict a big rise in the number of Welsh children who are taken into care because they've become uncontollable and violent, and can't be physically disciplined. Leaving their parents with little option but to ask social services to deal with the problem cause they're no longer willing to live under threat.

So if we're in Wales, and my two-year-old laughs "smack my bottom!" when I'm behind her on the stairs, I'll have to tell her no, or face criminal intervention?
The abuse they should be concerned about is the mum's latest boyfriend, who gets her teenage daughter as a "bonus".
Its nanny state time again. I know who I like to smack now & that these clowns in the WA. Who are there to tell us that we cannot smack our kids. And when I say smack I don't mean canning or beating of such. Why can't the WA spend they time & our money on improving our education & NHS that what I long to see done. What after no smacking no more prisons is that the next thing to ban?
