Child Smacking Ban “Would Divert Resources Away From Genuine Abuse”

- Laws must be changed to ensure smacking a child is not seen as acceptable in any circumstances, paediatricians have urged.
The current law in England and Northern Ireland has created “grey areas” which mean there is sometimes a defence to physical punishment, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) said.
Wales made any type of corporal punishment, including smacking, hitting, slapping and shaking illegal in March 2022, while Scotland had already introduced a similar ban in November 2020.
The RCPCH said amendments to the Children Act 2004 for England and the Law Reform Order 2006 for Northern Ireland “to remove the ‘reasonable punishment’ defence from all UK law are long overdue”.
Its report argued that, ahead of a general election, this was a time for all political parties to “make meaningful commitments on this important children’s rights issue”.
Professor Andrew Rowland, a consultant paediatrician and RCPCH officer for child protection, said: “The laws around physical punishment as they stand are unjust and dangerously vague.”
TalkTV’s Ian Collins is joined by Conservative Home’s Henry Hill, who questions: “Is it worth policing slip-ups by middle class families that get reported, rather than investigating sustained abuse?”

This gets brought into effect and the kids will get worse, you think it is bad now I can assure you it will get worse if their is no consequences for bad behaviour
How so?
@@run2cat4runGo and Google “Discipline “. You may learn something.
@@run2cat4runHow old are you? Use your brain.
@@tracyparker550 no one had answered my question yet
@tracyparker550 Because everyone thinks your question is stupid, just like you
Its called "anarcho tyranny" - oppressing normal people, whilst ignoring or even aiding or appeasing real criminals / terrorists
Healthy disapline has absolutely nothing to do with the police 🚮
Hitting can’t be healthy
Kids got the kane in school and a smack off the parents back in the day and guess what kids grow into better adults. Kids nowadays have zero respect for anything and anyone been told from day 1 how special they are and that brings a complete air of entertainment.
Your children belong to the state in this new build back better world
Shouldn’t we protect kids from abuse?
@@run2cat4run yes it’s called the government, they are abusing children through gender ideology and making them weak adults
@@run2cat4run keeping them away from progressive liberals is protecting them from abuse
Yes protect them from progressive liberals
Yes, and alaws wxist to do that but chastising is not abuse. Also do you want the state to control every aspect of your life, and effictivelt be your children's parents? (considering it's you, I know you do) @@run2cat4run
Every generation believes the next one is running rampant. If they are, it’s the parents downfall. Smacking doesn’t work, any psychotherapist or expert would tell you. My father gave me various forms of corporal punishment and it made me violent when I wasn’t before. This whole “I was smacked and I turned out fine” malarkey is just weak parenting.
It was banned years ago in Scotland. And the kids are running around in packs (preteens and teenagers) like rabid dogs. If you pull them up about their behaviour all you get is 'you cant touch me!' I taught a kid who was a pree-teen and and I never laid a finger on him and I can guarantee he didnt say that again after assaulting someone. I used my voice to my best ability without shouting or swearing. H
Wow a bit of a long one here lol. Last summer I had social services knock on my door my daughter (5 at the time) told the school her dad smacked her and they turned up at my house a day later and made him leave our house they said they needed 14 days to do an investigation, they wouldn’t answer my partner ringing them to ask what was going on. They finally answered after he left a voicemail saying it’s 14 days tomorrow I’m going home as you haven’t got back to me. We found out in the end it was because my daughter was holding our kitten by the neck and it couldn’t breathe so my partner tapped her hand to make her let him go. Also the same social worker came out a few weeks later because my other daughter who was 9 years old abruptly out of the blue one day came out with to me that over her dads (my ex) and his partners house she was getting abused by my ex’s partners son who was 12, it was a massive shock and she just came out with it, and that social worker actually had a go at me because my 9 year old shouldn’t have been allowed to tell me about being abused by her step brother in front of my 5 year old (she literally just came out with it without warning) she was more concerned that my 5 year old had heard that than the 9 year old being touched by a 12 year old boy....absolutely disgusting waste of time social services, actually being threatened that I might end up in court because I didn’t want to take my 5 year old to therapy over her hearing my 9 year old say the words “my step brother does weird stuff to me” the social worker saying I won’t win against them in court if they say she is at harm of possible emotional damage and basically told me I won’t win against it as it’s to hard not to prove it won’t happen. Dirty scum they are they keep you on their list because if there are no kids to visit, there is no work so they are out of a job
What happens if you as an adult is found guilty of smacking another adult in a court of law?
So teaching kids that smacking is ok?
No, I was was smacked as a child for doing something wrong, no discipline will lead in to a lot of trouble, smacking a child because it has done wrong is different from beating the child by sadistic parents.
@@lesliewelch6551smacking just teaches kids to solve problems with violence. It doesn’t help their development
@@scrimbo5319 no it does not, if that was the case we would be living in a very violent country, it teaches them to behave, me and millions of other children do not solve our problems with violence. People wonder why the younger generation do what they do, without fear of anything happening to them.
DONT HAVE KIDS PROBLEM SOLVED
"AnarchonTyranny" just crack down on things you can control and ignore the real problems
Some parents do go overboard with physical discipline, kids need discipline but they shouldn't have to grow up afraid. Ive seen some beatings that have angered me. Some parents hit their kids because they (the parents) cant control their rage, thats not the kids fault. Sometimes the kid doesn't deserve it, but the adults do.
