But that is your opinion and is not necessarily everyone else's.It is not in actual fact a crime to physically punish a child.It is a crime to beat a child but not to smack.Whilst your opinion is valid for you it is by no means valid for all.
Personally I think it would be nice if parents were on the whole allowed (within the rules we do have) to punish their children as they see fit without Uncle Tom Cobley and all, wagging a finger at them in disagreement.
Parents are either in trouble because they don't punish enough OR they punish too much.They are damned if they do,damned if they don't.
