Slapping Kids

Postby Stooo » Mon Jul 17, 2017 6:52 pm

Thousands of Welsh parents would be criminalised if a smacking ban is passed, campaigners have warned.

The Welsh Government wants to remove the legal defence for parents who use corporal punishment to discipline children.

But campaigners said removing the reasonable chastisement defence would leave "ordinary parents facing jail".

The Welsh Government said it would make sure the law made "life better for parents and children".

It is due to consult on the plans in the next 12 months.

My view is that violence begets violence. I managed to bring my kids up without thumping them so why teach young kids that hitting people is a good way to make them do what you want them to do?

I share your view - hitting little people is no more acceptable assaulting big ones.

Hitting people just leads to more hitting of people.

Indeed, we must take care not to promote violence as a principal method of conflict resolution. Violence should be reserved for defence and as a last resort.

Somebody can hit you but you can't fight back. There's a message.

Neuter them young and they'll comply with any old bollocks later - it's a Christian thing.

Maybe Welsh kids require more "instruction"?

I agree, judging by the way they voted for anti-Welsh parties at the last two elections and for the anti-Welsh policy called Brexit. :gigglesnshit:
