Id rathwr have been brought up with a good caring and understanding family who didn't feel the need to smack me and make me scared of them that's mental abuse to.
We don't live in the 50s and 60s anymore when beating a family member up was no big deal .
How does a tap on the back of the hand make someone scared and mentally scarred?
Nobody got tapped on the hand when I was a kid, it was a full force open handed slap to the side of the head or the bare arse.
You from Glasgow?
No

Ralph just knows anyone over 4ft 9” has the better of him in a square go, he prefers to aim his rage at puppies.
See the WhatsApp message landed.
You wanting added?
Who else is in it?
Is that important? I’m in it, that’s all that matters, pal.
I have people on ignore here so yes, it’s important.
I can assure you that despite what you may think if I added you to any WhatsApp chat with folk from here it would just be me and you on there.

So people can drive to Carlisle to smack their kids then ;D ;
Lowlives can.
Normal people can.
Normal people don’t hit kids.
A tap on the ãrse is assault now.
Only the seps.
Normal people don’t tap kids arses.
Yea they do.
Stop trying to defend the indefensible.
They don’t. Hitting kids is very far from the norm in Scotland in 2020.
Society has spoken. If you don’t like it, leave.
Tapping them on the àrse or hand is not being violent.
Society never spoke, the SNP want to control every part of people lives.
Only fools are happy with that.
Imagine being raging at the notion of kids not being hit. 🙈
Imagine being happy that the state knows better than you how to bring your children up.
Children are citizens, not possessions. The deserve the full protection of the state from violence just like everyone else.
What about protection from poverty?
Indeed. I support minimum basic income and legislation to outlaw poverty. Do you?
You think that’s the answer or is it down to feckless parents?
But let’s legislate to ban smacking.
What a fûckin shite government we are stuck with in Scotland.
If only the seps cared as much about the children.
So, parents can be feckless but they should be allowed in law to assault their kids.
Rinsed yourself that time.
😂Really?
Shining a light on you caring more about criminalising a tap on the hand than child poverty.
Now who’s been rinsed😬
We just established that I support policy to eradicate child poverty and you do not! 😂😂😂
Starting to feel a bit sorry for you now.
Legislating over tapping the back of a naughty child’s hand is more celebrated than protecting kids from the effect of poverty.
You need to stop now.
You’re opposed to children being protected from assault and opposed to them being protected from poverty.🙊🙈
Assault is a criminal offence no matter who it’s perpetrated on.
You need to learn when to stop digging.
The legislation change is to remove “justified assault” as a defence in these cases from the statute books.
Next!
A tap in the back of the hand is assault then.
Thanks for confirming what I’ve been saying all along.
I knew you’d get there in the end.
Always next week for you.

A tap on the back of the hand or the erse never did me or my brother or sister any harm, and it happened once in a blue moon. We knew when it did happen that it was time to behave.
I’ve never hit my kids and they know how to behave. I was never hit either.
I know people who were and most of them struggle with it or struggle badly badly in life. If you allow a tap, then invariably it will lead to more for some children.
Hitting kids is evil. And it always was.
Pete, all I can do is laugh at this.😂
Battering a child until it's black and blue on a regular basis is evil. Tapping the back of their hand once in a blue moon when they refuse to behave is not. Try and see the difference, please.
The seps want to control everything about people’s lives.
These nutters want a nanny state

Talking and explaining is far better.

For some reason I thought it had been banned for a while!
I was smacked as a wean, but hardly ever and not very hard. I've never really considered it to be a bad thing, but the wife and I spoke about it a while back and decided we'd never go down that route with the wee man.
I don't think it's evil, but then again I don't think it teaches the child respect either. It just seems to be a coping mechanism for the parent, which is fair enough I suppose but I think it sends out the wrong long-term message and reinforces violence as a good thing. In saying that, I do think violence can be good at times, for example I think it's OK to hit someone back if they hit you. This isn't the message given my smacking though.
Or if a Coyne-like character is viciously mocking the disabled, violence is sometimes necessary.
Like Peter, I know some who have been damaged by being smacked, although it was definitely to excess and often for no good reason.
In short, I support the ban. There are other ways to discipline.
Couldn’t agree more Comrade Hardliner.

I was smacked as a wean, but hardly ever and not very hard. I've never really considered it to be a bad thing, but the wife and I spoke about it a while back and decided we'd never go down that route with the wee man.
I don't think it's evil, but then again I don't think it teaches the child respect either. It just seems to be a coping mechanism for the parent, which is fair enough I suppose but I think it sends out the wrong long-term message and reinforces violence as a good thing. In saying that, I do think violence can be good at times, for example I think it's OK to hit someone back if they hit you. This isn't the message given by smacking though.
Or if a Coyne-like character is viciously mocking the disabled, violence is sometimes necessary.
Like Peter, I know some who have been damaged by being smacked, although it was definitely to excess and often for no good reason.
In short, I support the ban. There are other ways to discipline.

A tap on the back of the hand or the erse never did me or my brother or sister any harm, and it happened once in a blue moon. We knew when it did happen that it was time to behave.
I’ve never hit my kids and they know how to behave. I was never hit either.
I know people who were and most of them struggle with it or struggle badly badly in life. If you allow a tap, then invariably it will lead to more for some children.
Hitting kids is evil. And it always was.
Pete, all I can do is laugh at this.😂
Battering a child until it's black and blue on a regular basis is evil. Tapping the back of their hand once in a blue moon when they refuse to behave is not. Try and see the difference, please.
Tapping a child on the back of the hand doesn’t make any sense. Of course it is not the same as injuring children but what is it supposed to do exactly?

My dad belted, smacked and punched me like mad when I was a child.
I then made sure never to step inside a Chapel again.

our dad used to beat us to sleep with his belt, never did us any harm.

Great news that .

A great day after decades of hard work by children’s charities and advocates. Scotland now joins the other civilised nations around the world.
Hitting kids is evil, and it legitimises violence in the minds of children from an early age.
I look forward to the first prosecutions in order that those who persist will get the message.
