I agree with Lettie that this law will not stop abuse. Those children whose parents actually hit them will be too afraid of being hit again to report to anyone. The only parents who will suffer (and consequently their children) will be the ordinary caring loving parents.

A lot of abuse is invisible too, such as emotional abuse which can leave far more permanent damage but no evidence.

Oddly enough we were in a butty shop today and whilst waiting for our turn I noticed a "Daily Star" which had a totally different report saying that the government had been defeated.

One thing I do find interesting is that Tony "I admit I smacked my older children when they were small" Blaire did not participate in the vote.
