My blood was boiling yesterday when this subject came on the news. In my opinion its the Nanny State going way too far.
I am 25 and look at some teenagers and just think that what they need is a smacked bottom. And that if their parents had given them that when they were little, they might not be such louts today.
I do NOT want my one year old turning out like that. And if I have to smack his bottom as a last resort once in a while its a small price to pay in my eyes. I rather a few tears from him over a smacked bottom when he was younger, than complaints about his behaviour in years to come and me wondering where it all went wrong.

I would just like to add that obviously I am not smacking my little lad NOW - he's only one. I'm just making the point that if its needed in the future myself and my partner fully reserve the right to smack.
