New legislation which would ban adults from being able to smack their children has been introduced in Wales.
If passed the Children Bill would act as the first divergence of core criminal law between Wales and England, where parents would still be able to legally physically punish a child as long as it is deemed ‘reasonable’.
‘As we have seen from a slew of Freedom of Information requests, parents suspected of smacking face suspension, investigation by the police and social services, and prosecution.’ ‘As one of the most progressive nations in the world when it comes to promoting children’s rights, I am proud this Welsh Government is legislating to bring an end to the physical punishment of children in Wales, further protecting children’s rights.’
God damn it. I've been driving my kids to Wales to smack them since it was banned in England. Now where can I go.
Good luck fixing that mess in 10 years
Drive misbehaving uncontrollable kids over the bridge a quick smack then back to Wales.
And people wonder why the world is in a complete and utter mess
