It's never even crossed my mind to use physical punishment as a deterrent and I'm struggling to think of a situation where it would. Ffs I don't even smack the dog let alone my own kids! Would you want to stop others dealing with their kids differently though ? We're not talking about beating children here, there are already rules that prohibit that.

Its not for a thrill nor is it assault. Do you have kids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smacking isn't something sensible parents do for fun. It's the absolute last resort for when a child won't listen to anything else and can't be allowed to continue their current line of behaviour. Some kids never get to that stage. Some parents resort to it far too quickly or far too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Good for the economy. Places like Millport will see the return of the traditional family holiday as kids are terrified of going to DisneyWorld after building up a pile of smack tokens throughout the year.

MuckleMoo Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Would you want to stop others dealing with their kids differently though ? We're not talking about beating children here, there are already rules that prohibit that. Yes I would. It's inflicting pain on a child in order to deter or punish it. That, to me, is not only wrong but also completely unnecessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s trolling to suggest grown adults hitting children is quite rightly becoming a crime? Are all the governments across the planet who have introduced this law also trolling?

LiviLion Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Imagine being that much of a c**t that you want to be able to hit your child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 This thread reminds me of the Question Time episode where a load of old angry white men shouted at Jeremy Corbyn for not being wanting to kill millions in a nuclear explosion. Imagine getting a hard-on for hitting kids an order of magnitude smaller and weaker than you. f**k's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you'll get anyone supporting seriously hurting a child. Its not like those that do think smacking is acceptable are trying to force people to smack their kids, its a parenting choice, kids cry when they get sent to the naughty step, I don't see what the difference is.

Just what I said: when a child won't listen to anything else (when polite asking, reasoning, shouting, naughty step etc are all ignored) and can't be allowed to continue their current line of behaviour (e.g. because it's going to cause serious harm to themselves or someone else).

Honest Saints Fan Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thinking it's okay to smack a child. Fucking hell. An old boot at my physio class had a go at me for not smacking my 16 month old. I had told her my daughter was trying to open the kitchen cupboards so we had put locks on them. She said I was enabling her bad behaviour and should smack her. A 16 month old defenceless child. I was seething. Disgusting anyone thinks it's an acceptable form of punishment.

Romeo Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I'm assuming those who hit their children "because they don't do what they are told" would happily hit other, older members of their family for the same reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old P & B picking up the ball and running with it though, bravo, nice attempt to polarise things. Try rereading what I typed, I mentioned the process of smacking and NOT being painful.

What evidence do you have to support this ridiculous claim? Do younger children naturally possess pads and helmets for when you or anyone else wants to skelp them around the place?
