HUNDREDS of parents will be slapped with prison sentences when Wales brings in its new ban on smacking kids, police figures show.
He added that the “government is playing with fire if it thinks it can make this change in the law and not affect the lives of parents and by extension children”. Mr Gillies said the defence of reasonable chastisement had only been used in the UK three times in the last nine years, with all cases taking place in England.PARENTS 'CRIMINALISED'
“You’re going to be compelling police to pursue parents who smack their children, and police budgets and times are already constrained.
Bloody stupid, unnecessary law!
Yeah well coma and arrest me now. If my son needs a slap he will get one , but truth of the matter is I have not smacked him since he was about seven he ten now and behaves himself , but the threat of a slap pulls him in line when need be. Unlike some urchins
LeahYehudah_ More Welsh children for belial.
RIP everything
Easier option would be to give everyone a iq test. If you are above a certain score then you should be allowed to procreate, if not then sterilisation for all
Yeah where is the room at jails ? LOL
FYI Mentio00 flashergordan
And we wonder why kids have no respect. If they have no fear for the consequences of their actions they’ll give even less of a shit. This is poor.
What?! Good luck with these little ones once they grow up! They’ll think they can do anything without consequence. Honestly...good luck. Thats what happened here across the pond. We have children “suffering” from “affluenza”!
Government and its cat lady army sticking its nose in where it's not needed or wanted.
This is ridiculous, just look at the youth of today with no respect for authority from parents, police etc. I’m sure if they’d been smacked and told off occasionally the story would be different? We were all smacked in our childhood and it never affected us
Oh ffs
When kids believe they can do what they want without repercussions then you have lost the child, in the home, in school, in society. Kids need to fear the consequences of their actions.
Sent to jail ... yeah right ... slap on the wrist for carrying a knife .... suspended sentence for glassing someone on the face .... jailed for disciplining your child
No one complains, the hand that hits gets more hurt, in addition to stress it causes.The butt can take it but settles within short while.
what a load of crap what is uk coming to
Its people like my father who beat the sh*te out of my sisters, my mother, and I who need to be dealt with. Not parents simply dishing out a dose of discipline.
Good. I was abused by my stepfather from the ageif 6, now im not talking about a smack, I'm talking about a, punch, broken bones, hit with a carving knife, stripped naked and punched, I could go on. So... Yes bring it on.
So the kids won't have to fear being disciplined... so young rebel without a reminder.. teen thinking theyre untouchable can't wait to see the pie charts on youth crime.. balanced discipline that's what kids need
Sparr the rod and spoil the child. These laws has made modern children become useless and hooligans which has led them even carry guns due to no proper up bringing.
Good
... and parents will lose control and children will take over! Oh well done the hippy lobby! Ever seen how a Lioness disciplines its young?
And they wonder why kids are hard to control now 🤔
I believe a smack on the backside does no harm but unfortunately they are parents out there that uses that excuse to be excessive and unacceptable they dont know when to draw the line...that's why the law has stopped it ....the law simply cannot monitor what is acceptable.
Walloping a child NO but a smack why the kids are mainly horrible spoilt brats Stupid law Give parents the right as we always had Heard one brattish boy Threatening Mum with a police man She cried he wasn't Anybody wonder where juvenile crime starts and knives and mouthy yobs
This country is FUBAR.
And also more kids in juvenile prisons! Some kids need a damn good smack 🤷♀️
And that’s why kids are running riot with no respect for anyone. A slap round the bum never did me any harm
Another fit of reducing population because in few years to come people going to shot dead from crimes
Just checking that even your own story contains zero quotes or evidence that parents will be jailed for smacking...and, yep, totally made up.
Anyone with a spare ticket to Mars or any ither planet? I really need to get out of planet earth.
So if the parents do go to jail, social services become involved, no other members of the family to look after the children, so child gets put in care home, tax payers have to fund the cost.But then again people don't even go to jail now for knife crime,so will this really happen
Absolute bollocks that is
Norway had that ban sins 1987, no problem, we just don't smack our children. Why? we talk to them, they speak the same language as us🙂
Pathetic.
England gone soft
Who is that evil b*****
It's just as well that the police doesn't have serious crime to be dealing with these days.
Kid are growing up with no respect for adults they,need discipline.
How dare you discipline your child. It’s not as though the state will do anything once they they go off the rails. State interference is a bad thing but parents should do it but don’t
Who’s the parents here? The government? Telling parents what kids can eat,wear when to holiday! Piss off and run the country properly before changing laws most decent parents don’t smack anyway! Smack and abuse 2 different things
As if the prisons aren’t already overstretched and now parents that discipline their kids are being thrown in prison whilst people that bomb this country get a council house and benefits oh the irony of it
Load of shit! I would never want to smack my child, but if he done something serious enough then I would smack him. But it should be used as little as possible. A lot of us had a hiding as a kid and we are all ok.
No saying batter your kids but never did me any harm. Taught me manners and respect.
So u smack your kid for being naughty ... u get sent to jail ... where does the kid go while the parents are in jailmy guess is that will make the kids worse when they got no parents around them
Good! Send all the parents who are trying to maintain discipline in the home to jail, and help raise a generation of half educated and disrespectful misfits for the future. Indiscipline in the home is partly the reason why there's growing youth crime. Help make it worse.
Spare the rod, spoil the child. Its a shame how politicians enact such stupid laws which lead to chaos & indiscipline in the home. They then turn around to blame every1 else but themselves. Foolishness is tied to the heart of a child. If you beat him, he will not die (Prov 23:13)
and we wonder why todays kids are unruly, parents cant slap, teachers cant even raise voices, liberalism at its finest
Good. We will be relaxing behinde bars while police will take care of bad childern. Will see how fast they change their mind.
Another pointless law, causing more unruly kids with little respect for anyone!
its weak for a parent to smack and just teaches kids totry and win by physical abuse. Im a Mum of 3 teenage boys, I learnt early on I needed their respect to teach them right ways. I cant hit a 6ft 14 year old. Get a grip, they make our blood boil, but theyre still our babies x
And where are they going to find the prison space!!
But.... leaving your child unattended while swanning off to dinner doesn’t and warrants millions of pounds of tax payers money to investigate everyone but the parents. Makes sense right 🙄.
Omg what a ridiculous world we live in ....in order to gain respect and discipline you have instil abit of fear into kids or they just run amok,I had no need to smack my kids very often but as toddlers they got a tap on the bum or hand for being naughty 🤷♀️ they turned out good
To be fair the government doesn’t know what they are on about that’s why kids are getting away with everything now .
Why police can't be arsed arresting burglars muggers
If they put parents in jail, then they will be committing the child into care, possibly. What senile judge or legal mental idiot thought that through. A smack never did me any harm and I smacked my own son. He turned out just fine.
This is one of the reasons kids have no respect for parents, teachers, police, in fact anyone - they need some form of discipline
Not a good idea
And then will wonder why kids have no discipline no respect for elders parents or authorities
What a load of bollocks didntdomeanyharm
Sorry nothing wrong with snacking didn’t do me any harm and some of the kids today dam well need it
Pathetic....
Productive 👍🏼
Bloody stupid
What a joke, just look at the current youth. If they’d been given hidings they would be a lot more well mannered. Enough of this nanny state approach
Creating the next generation of snowflakes
Stupidest law ever...no wonder kids run amock everywhere parents are too scared to breathe!!! A tap across the back of the legs never did me or my bro any harm. Were polite and know how to behave. A few more kids could do with more than a tap liltwats
So. Smack yer child for doing something terribly wrong. Goto jail. But be a paedo get community service. Hmmm
Meanwhile has there been more than just one conviction for Female Genital mutilation?
Peaceful in jail what’s not to like about that 💚💚💚☘️☘️
That’s the trouble they’ve nothing to put them off doing wrong
Too little too late for Ben Mitchell however
Police are useless
Instead the kids will be in jail by the time their 18. What a joke of a country this has become.
Norway had that ban sins 1987, no problem, we just don't smack your children. Why? we talk to them, they speak the same language as us🙂
And people wonder why kids keep stabbing each other or mugging OAPs. PC brigade, innocent blood will be on YOUR hands! 😠
and lost of kids behave badly too .. not all kids are kind kids
But go around stabbing people. This is deemed acceptable and seemingly an expected daily headline now 🤦🏼♀️ To think we now live in a time when “multiple fatal stabbing” headlines no longer fazes us. But don’t smack your children, because that’s wrong and illegal ☝🏻
Ok then... they can’t even stop kids stabbing each other on the streets. How are they going to enforce this Are they going to take the word of 9yr old Charlie who’s upset at his xbox ban ?
Ffs it was the belt when I was young never did me any harm kids are getting away with murder these days
Sheer lunacy! I’ve never heard of such idiotic bunkum.
Laws.....what a sick bunch of lawmakers and aholes running things. Leave families alone. Leave people alone. Rats! Put cameras in everyone’s house and chips in our brains too while you at it.
And they wonder y young offenders has risen in certain areas 👍 good work, well on the upside at least you dont have to pay 8 pounds to watch TV inside like you donin hospitals NHSuk Conservatives allwrong
Absolutely ridiculous
I dont even like to look at this picture,!! it looks so wrong.
Yet more politically correct nonsense. What has happened to the Conservative Party?
