Re: The Age of Criminal Responsibility
I think corporal punishment is a good deterrent, from behaving badly, and help children learn right from wrong.
It must also help character building...for those fooolish enough ever to be caught. :D |

Re: The Age of Criminal Responsibility
There is a difference between "Right thinking" & The PC Brigade (Thinking they're right).
You have a child who will not behave, you slap them this is a discipline action to make them realise what they've done is wrong & the slap was the consequence of their action. A lesson is learnt & the incident isn't repeated (this I class as right thinking). You have a Child who will not behave, you don't slap them, no discipline action, no realisation of their wrong doing because there was no punishment, ergo no consequences to their actions. No lesson learnt & the incident is repeated or a more serious incident occurs. (this is PCB thinking) Result ? two divergent ways, one Child may well go on to be a good upstanding citizen, the other another Venables,Thompson or one of the 2 things from Edlington. |

Re: The Age of Criminal Responsibility
My father only ever struck me once for giving him 'lip' - and on reflection I reckon that I deserved it, though I didn't think so at the time. At nearly 70, I still remember the incident as one of the sharpest lessons I ever learned in my youth, since which time I have always shown respect for my elders and betters.
Doesn't work with today's kids though, does it! The word 'respect' has been given a whole new meaning in the violent drink and drug addled society that they are practically forced to adhere to. |

Sadly a lot of these Kids look to their Peers & Celebrities for their examples, which if you pick up a paper most days you find them embroiled in some scandal or fracas or other, hardly conducive to setting an example, but this is what they see & aspire to. If on the other hand some of these Parents were more interested in their Kids as opposed to their own interests & needs. Spending time encouraging, cajoling & taking or sharing an interest, how much better would it be ? But until more people adopt this approach, we will continue to be stuck with these depressing headlines. |

Call me old fashioned if you will, but these so called 'enlightened times' are little more than an excuse used by the pundits to absolve the status quo from any form of responsible approach to the ultimate wellbeing of society. My sermon for today is now over. |
