But my argument on this isn't for abusive violence, I'm not for children to be beaten. A quick slap accros the arse when they've done wrong is not abuse, and if you think it is, then you're basically calling mine and a lot of other peoples parents abusive, and speaking for mine, I can tell you that my parents are not, and I love and respect them both very dearly. I'm 40 years old and I still don't smoke or swear infront of them, that's out of respect for them.
