ayrmad Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Just now, Brother Blades said: This has really taken a turn, I don't think anyone is advocating "leathering, battering, beating" a child. I personally don't agree with physical chastisement, I do think however that this law is superfluous as the arseholes who abuse their children (already unlawful) won't take a blind bit of notice of this new legislation. The positive I can see from it is those numpties that hammer their kids arses in supermarkets for having a wee strop, might get a wee word in their ear from the police as someone might report it, when you're scudding them hard in public you definitely have lost the battle with your kid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also roughing up the wife a bit in front of them to show them you mean business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 The main positive is that it gives a statement that as a society we don’t view violence as an acceptable way to get your point across. Unless you’ve decided it won’t hurt them, then it’s fine obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnydun Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 So far people who agree with smacking their kids have been branded Scumbags, Dinosaurs and Child abusers on this thread by the people apposed to smacking their children. If those against it were smacked more as children then they may of turned out a bit more respectful of other peoples opinions instead of resorting to insults. If they were smacked, do you think your parent is a scumbag or child abuser? All I know is that its worked for my kids as they are polite, respectful, loyal and most importantly safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I can remember my mum smacking me when I was younger, my dad never, instead all her had to do was raise his voice and it was enough for me to reel it in. I don't think I could ever bring myself to do it tbh. Don't have kids, but the thought of skelping them for being inquisitive, not understanding to behave, or for acting out when it's inappropriate seems over the top. I believe that other punishments (I.E. TV Ban, Toy ban, or groundings) to he more effective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 1 hour ago, Gaz said: I regularly teach classes of 30+ pupils in which 15 or more could test the patience of Mother Theresa herself (at the times she wasn't being an old boot, that is). The thought of hitting them never comes into my head, and nor would it if I was allowed to. And those aren't my own kids. I've said this before on here, but when my oldest was younger I accidentally trapped her finger in a door. The look she gave me - fear, pain, misery - will stay with me until the day I die. And within 5 minutes she was playing away like nothing happened. The thought of giving my kids that look of fear, pain and misery deliberately is absolutely barbaric. Are you a teacher, who knew? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I'm pretty sure I was smacked very occasionally but I don't agree with it. It seems like a very lazy way of trying to instill discipline in a child. Besides, surely it only teaches children that violence is an acceptable answer to certain types of behaviour? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 For those posters with more than 1 kid, if they fight and one of them gets walloped and the other gives it the "I hardly touched him/her", does that not sound very similar to the "just a tap" shite? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
