[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.
