A similar law has been proposed here too. In the minds of the "politically correct" social workers, a simple smack represents "child abuse" and "beating."
If these young punks had been taught right from wrong with a smack or two, then maybe this thread would never have been posted.
I agree whole-heartedly Paul, For Nanny State, to dictate to all the parents, about how to bring up thier children, is totally wrong. It's the parents that have to live with the children, after all.
Paul, I hate to say it, but New Zealand has one of the highest rates of Child Abuse in the Western world. This is caused by (I am afraid), by a lot of immigrants from the outer parts of Samoa(sp??) and Tonga, who believe in thier own form of discipline, they do not recognise NZ Laws, even though they live here. But to use a piece of wood to beat thier own children, is just not right!.
