Can’t believe you can just assault small people because they are under 18 and it isn’t counted as domestic violence
The words ‘child’ and tsar should never be used in the same sentence let alone as a position of responsibility in any democratic country.
I’m actually quite shocked that is isn’t already banned!
smacking kids teaches them that violence is an appropriate social response, and it also opens up the potential for abuse – if you’re allowed a light smack are you allowed a heavy smack?… when are you allowed to smack?… it’s all a matter of degrees, and there should be no leniency when it comes to child abuse
It’s hard to find a good argument for hitting people who are unable to stand up for themselves.
But then we won’t be able to threaten them with a trip over the border for a quick skelp
What my dad would do (in public) was take my hand, and crush it to fuck. I keep remembering stuff, I’m gonna have to find him and make it right.
I agree with it, but it’s such a pointless law that doesn’t really make much sense, or appear to be very enforceable.
Are you allowed to give them a tap on the bum? Well yeah, still obviously.
Are you allowed to smack them hard enough to leave a mark? No, and thats already the case without a smacking law. If your kid has bruises etc, it should be flagged to safe guarding.
Laws should only exist to be enforced imo, rather than to create good headlines.
Why do children have a czar? What the fuck are they planning over there in saint childrenburg
didn’t they ban smacking children in 1974 in Barbados?
We still need a lot of people to come around to the idea that just because they were hit as a child does not mean it should be OK to hit future generations. We banned corporal punishment in schools without seeing any serious consequences, we can do the same with smacking.
This never going to be banned. It’s too useful as a method of teaching us to comply with the state’s monopoly on violence during the formation of our personalities.
So discipline is gonna go completely out of the window eh.
