Should parents be able to hit children?

lol loves it

So you all think it's ok for children to be brought up thinking that hitting is the answer?

I don't really have an opposition to like a slight smack if they've done something wrong (like a slap on the wrist or a smacked bottom etc.) and in some cases it’s the only way to get through to them, but really smacking so they go red or start really crying uncontrollably is going way to far.

I very rarely ever got a smack (sounds a bit dirty lol), I usually just got sent to my room or shouted at until I gave in, only when I did something really bad that I would be smacked. Just as long as the child isn't punished for the slightest thing with a smack, its fine, hurting them everytime is a bit harsh and could damage them psychologically if taken too far.

Nope, i got smacked when i was little and my dad tells me now he really regrets it, it's because his parents used to smack him and his brothers when he was little so thought it was the right way to do it but he realised as soon as my he and my mum split up it was wrong

I am all for smacking kids, if they are winging about some ******** lolly or something, whack em one so they shut up.

We agree on something. This is perhaps the most conservative view I have, but whippings like the ones I get, work. I've never been in serious trouble, I've done well in school. Heck, I wouldn't dare do things any different in fear of getting a belting. It's a good deterent. In Eatern Countries, many petty criminals get punished with whippings/cannings. I bet the shoplifters/druggies of the UK wouldn't be in any haste to comitt crime again after recieving what they recieve.

I know how to have fun thank you very much. I'm down town, in nightclubs most weekends, but as I said, I've still done well in school, and never done anything wrong. I still have the right mix of both. *Removed*

I don't support it, parents should take something away from there kids like there xbox, computer or no television for a week.

[Dinosaurawrr]

the law is that parents CAN hit there children as long as there is no mark. if a mark is left its obv too hard and then they can get prosecuted

i dont agree with slapping personally.
although children can be hard to control
