Scotland becomes first UK nation to ban smacking
 

[Parents in Scotland are no longer allowed
to smack their children after the passing
of a law making physical punishment illegal.
MSPs voted by 84 to 29 in favour
of the smacking ban, which gives
children the same protection from violence
as adults by removing the defence
of justifiable assault.
It means Scotland has become the
first country in the UK to make
physical punishment a criminal offence,
bringing the country in line with
United Nations recommendations.]


Smacking is Needed
to stop kids running in road.

I thought it was banned years ago.

Stupid, there’s nothing wrong with a clip around the ear, it never did me or my generation or the ones before me any harm, I don’t like that people are now being told how to parent by law, what’s next, it’ll be a crime make your kids eat what their given or go without?

Yep, the politicians will do the parenting, and the kids will be brought up to the standards they want you to meet.

Oh no if mine get a bit out of hand I have to be honest I give them a tap on the hand, not hard, but it makes them stop and I'm going on holiday to Scotland in 2 weeks. I best be careful otherwise I'll be going to jail

I feel a bit of a hypocrite because I did smack (very very rarely and lightly )but I support a ban to reduce child abuse.

It's got more chance of increasing child abuse figures. Because now any parent who's just given a light slap on the hand or the bottom could be classed in the same league as somebody who beats a child to a pulp.

Has nicola banned fgm yet?

It was already banned thank goodness.

On a side note..can you still smack other people's. ?

Lazy parenting imo

Always thought smacking was banned

It is in Ireland

Aw thats it then, I live vicariously through my Irish roots :smug:

Me too..all those times I missed the chance, just to get a dead arm every day of him when he got older..Im furious.:fist:

All for it, I've never felt the need to smack mine to be honest I rarely need to raise my voice with him, if I do shout he ****s himself as he knows I'm seriously pissed off with him :laugh: Not sure how it will be policed though....

I always found shouting far worse than the hits when I was a kid.

..Scotland leading the way for the rest of the U.K. to follow...:love:...
