Scott is making light, and making fun out of a very serious matter - because he thought it was funny - and the very point I made in my earlier post - there is nothing amusing to discuss on this thread given the OP and the subject matter.

Nothing wrong here, bad taste maybe but thats it. All abuse is linked, maybe you dont see smacking as abuse but I do, maybe it's the generation gap, your generation was allowed to get smacked no?
