I think parents who hit their children need to go to a parenting class. Many people learn discipline without being physically beaten, it's just not necessary in my opinion, at least not as often as it's used.

If violence is the only solution for violence then it is a very sad society we're living in.

Same here the trouble today is there are no consequences for bad behaviour!!!! If you send a kid to their room it is not a punishment because most kids have all they need in there. Was very rare for me to get into trouble at school and if I did wasn't in the habit of running home to tell my Mum because I got told off by her as well!!!!

Then why are we out kicking ass in foreign countries? Biggest mistake the schools made was being banned from using the cane and strap for bad behavior. Trust me a good wack of the cane made you think twice about getting in bother.

But then we wouldn't have any experts

if a parent hits a child and it goes on to commit the same offence again then obviously the parent should be held totaly resposible..

for not hitting it hard enough the first time
