It's good news. Nobody should assault a child. Not even parents.

another law that won't be used

Difficult to enforce, I'd imagine.

I got hit as a kid, and look how I turned out. Well fu*ked up. Lol... Sorry, its not a laughing matter, I just know someone would use that sentence as an excuse, but think they turned out great. Smh.

Maybe less brain damaged adults now. lol

I got a few scelps on the a.rse when I was a little s.hit! I personally wouldn't do it if i had kids.

I smacked Sophia up to around five....feel a bit cringey about it now ....I used to be very pro smacking

saying slapping as opposed to smacking has me picturing kids being slapped in the face.

I've never agreed with teaching kids that violence gets shit done.

I don't like the idea of taking parenting away from parents, so kids can rebel, knowing they can't be touched.

It's not easy to satisfy both ideals, and ultimately, this law is in danger of helping cause more bad behaviour from brats who control their parents, whilst doing nothing to protect vulnerable kids being abused.

The only time I've seen that us women slapping men ....no-one called the police
