My problem is hitting a child for any reason is not necessary.

We know that most of our parents had it as a deterrent and yes corporal punishment was still a thing when I started school. So we know it's not as bad as what people today are making out. |

If it's legal for adults to drink alcohol and smoke, then it should be for kids.
Yeah right. |

In 10 years time, Scotland will be the child abuse capital of the west. Because some parents ain't gonna listen to this law, and for giving their unruly child a smacked arse, they might be thrown in prison and even have their child taken away from them. The child loses out, by losing their parents.

The ban has been in Ireland since 2015 (iirc) and our jails haven't over flowed yet anyway

I've just Google'd "Parent sent to jail for smacking child" there's cases.
One mother was released after a judge said "her actions were similar to many loving parents across the land" |

We don't allow kids to drink or smoke to protect their well being.....which is another reason why this ban is a logical move

I agree with this I think
I also disagree that smacking is used as a means of dicipline, rather than the adult losing control of their temper..in the huge majority of cases anyway. I have smacked Skye once, never James. I felt so guilty too, and convinced mysef it was to teach her to behave, when really, it was a result of me losing it rather than anything else. Also 'a tap' or whatever people say, its not that as a tap would..well not even slightly shock the child..which is apparently the reason for the 'tap'. I think many lie to themselves about it all tbh, I know I did for a while til I thought about it properly. I think its slightly..dangerous to put smacking in the same category as beating mind.

You're all probably right, it's probably a lack of Youth clubs why children are now regularly stabbing each other to death on the streets.
A hug will sort them out. |

Because there is clearly nothing between smacking a child and a hug?
IDK, I am quite conflicted on this really as I was smacked and as someone (parm?) said, I found shouting to be much much worse than smacking. And yes, kids need discipline and some simply do not respond to the likes of grounding, naughty step, etc. But what made me think I am against it is basically..lets say a person in a nursing home was regressing and starting to behave like a child, being naughty on purpose, doing unsafe things.noone would think it was fine to just give them a 'bit of a tap' to try and get them to behave. So..I cannot really justify it for kids, despite doing it once myself.

It's the circle of life.
Us humans interfere far too much in nature, sometimes for the good, but sometimes we might think it's for the good, but actually we get things wrong. We're only human, afterall. |

You have no idea if the kids who are out stabbing each other now were hit as kids - maybe they were and so think that carrying out violent acts on each other is allowed coz well their parents hit them

I'm not talking about abusing a child, I'm talking about a smacked arse for doing wrong, so that a child associates doing wrong with having consequences. The child doesn't cry because you hurt them with a slap to the arse, the child cries because it knows it's let down, disappointed the person whom gives it love, and they learn a lesson that doing bad things brings a negative to them.

Put the question to the people of Scotland first, before enforcing a law such as this. Where does it stop? |

Well yes, this was part of my decision too tbh. Basically, people who smack to get kids to behave, are teaching them that violence is the way to get what you want. Its also quite ridiculous, as I have heard in a play area before, when a parent smacks their child..the reason? Because they hit another child. So you are punishing a child for hitting and telling them its wrong to hit someone, by hitting them
