For me it's about respect, I respect my children too much to think about inflicting physical or mental pain as punishment. I cannot understand a country which allows me to hit someone physically weaker and smaller than myself without facing legal recourse, but would prosecute me for hitting some 'guy in the street'? How can this country condone the truamatising of children through physical abuse?
We are outraged by stories of 'wife beating', we open refuges for 'adults' who are harmed by their spouses, we encourage these 'grown ups 'to prosecute their abuser and increasing these bullies receive custodial sentences.
