Finch road Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Would anyone be willing to hit a parent with dementia or an adult relative with severe learning difficulties? If for example they were causing a scene in a restaurant or away to touch a hot stove or had walked out of the house alone? [emoji23] [emoji23] Yes, I would kick them up and down the high street 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimpy Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Whenever people speak about smacking I always imagine a nation of kids putting their hand in the fire then running out into the road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chlamydia Kid Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Would anyone be willing to hit a parent with dementia or an adult relative with severe learning difficulties? If for example they were causing a scene in a restaurant or away to touch a hot stove or had walked out of the house alone? An older person who does that is regressing they will never learn any new skills by the nature of their condition. A child is progressing and learning. By smacking them then the hope is that they learn what the can and can’t do and it is beneficial to their overall development. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wallop is and quite right too. If this is the case, I'm changing sides. I don't smack my kid. I detest all the abhorrent, bullying, violent, violence inducing, wallloping, harmful, whacking, slapping about, repulsive, vicious, uncontrolled, raging, child beating, pain inflicting, torturing child abusers. Oh Diana, the people's princess, think of the children. Wow, thank goodness for that. I feel sooooo righteous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull My Strings Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 9 hours ago, whiskychimp said: Depends on your opinion. I'd say the tap has become a criminal offence because, to me, it is a smack. Tbf though, you clearly don't understand the subject matter. This thread is about a proposed change to the law on assault. It will affect the legality of what some parents do to their children but it's got nothing to do with what you profess to do. Tapping your children without force, without causing harm will remain lawful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrmad Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Are we banning reasonable chastisement or is it just if it leaves a mark etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 "Reasonable chastisement" is admonishment or criticism, within reason, not striking a tiny person that stand up for themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new law is you're allowed to hit up to the point where it's an assault, if I'm reading this all correctly.
