What if your daughter had a knife to someones throat? Would you still try and sue if they laid a finger on her?
And I pray you dont say my daughter will never do that. I'm pretty sure hitlers parents didn't think he would kill millions.
I'm sure your parenting will teach your daughter better than that, I'm not saying we should go out and belt kids for the fun of it, but in some circumstances like my own, its difficult to do anything other than smack em one.

There was an incident about 18 months ago in a neighbouring town, one teenager went to the local travelling funfair to look for a murder victim. She decided on one and stabbed her many times in an out of control frenzy, luckily for the victim she survived to live after the attack.
The most amazing thing was the victim was saved by a guy who waded in and not necessarily very delicately disabled the girl attempting to murder the other. The real amazing thing though was the hostility the guy got from all the onlookers who complained about him attacking the girl who was stabbing her victim within inches of death.
The guy was apparently afraid for his own life, as the crowd took all the play away from the knife attack and vented anger at him!
What a strange would we live in, perhaps if I witness a similar incident I should turn the other cheek and walk away ignoring that it's happening.
Then again ignoring things that happen is a Liberal approach.
