Scotland making it illegal to smack your kids on 15:14 - Oct 19 with 8780 views | MattinLondon | To be honest I thought it already was. At times my parents used to smack me hard when I was a kid and it never altered the way I behaved - always considered physical punishments a complete waste of time. | | | |

It's the persuading people not to lose control that is the hard bit, if a ban and the chance of punishment stops that then it can't be wrong. | |

Scotland making it illegal to smack your kids on 15:17 - Oct 19 with 8762 views | Joey_Joe_Joe_Junior | Good, it's time to move on from this being ok. The "never done my any harm" line is dated. If you give your 7 year old boy a little smack here and there because they are out of line what are they going to do in the playground when they think their little buddy is being a pain. It will be far better to take their iPad off them for a week (if they can still afford them in Scotland). The generation above mine needs to move with the times a little more.

Shouldn't even be allowed iPads. Kids today, don't know how to be bored. I reckon constant stimulation is a questionable thing. | |

That's another question worth investigating. A lot of children seem to be diagnosed with ADHD and literally given speed to help them focus. Worrying. | | | |

It's true. At least this side of the water. It's very easy to get a prescription. Goes well with gin. | | | |

But going back to the original post, I think it's a good thing. What can slapping your kids ever teach them other than it being ok to slap people when they don't do what you want. | |

Do you take the same hands-off approach to sexual abuse as you do to physical abuse? | |

This is his shtick. What ever the consensus seems to be, he'll take the opposing view and spend all day slow-trolling whoever he can get to bite. Sad really. | |

No, Scotland leading the way on this. Wales won't be far behind. Parents can currently claim a defence of justifiable assault for giving the kids a whack. That's quite a thing isn't it. | |

Whilst the best outcomes of this are in terms of child protection and an inevitable cultural shift towards improved and more considered parenting, the fact that it winds up archaic religious fundamentalists, still adhering to the englishmans home is his castle mantra, such as your good self, is a very welcome bi-product. | |
