Mom’s swift hand of divine justice didn’t happen often, but when it did you fell right back into line.
Well, after all, liberals believe THEY own your children.
I used to be proud of my Scottish heritage. They are as lost as Sweden.
Is a slipper an implement?
How can you have any pudding! If you don’t eat your meat!?!?!?
and these people pushing it will be the first ones to smack you
They gonna prevent m*zlims from beating their wives?
For leftist thugs, the concept of sin is the only sin.
What about wives? Next they’ll say that’s against the law too!
I was a disciplined child that never grew up hating and blaming my parents, even though a shrink made a very good try at it. There was certain things I got spanked for, and I remember them well. In the eighth grade the teacher smacked the backs of hands with a ruler. Mine was done a couple times. Never grew up traumatized by this either. I never back talked my parents or teachers.
Today’s upside down culture is completely out of whack. The appropriate punishments of yesterday that kept our kids in line are gone, and so are the low crime rates.
An amusing story from my child hood: I was a naughty little boy, probably about 7 or so and Mom said I’d get a spanking when Dad got home. He drove in the yard and I took one of Mom’s plates from the kitchen and slid it down the back of my pants. Dad came in, I got on my hands and knees to crawl behind the couch with my bottom exposed. Had whacked me and hurt his hand. This story was told at our family gatherings.
Isn’t smacking the Scotsman’s way of working off a hangover?
“...with critics arguing that the current law is sufficient, and that the changes risk criminalising “good” parents.”

That’s the point. More hooks for the state to get into people’s lives.
When adults misbehave, we shoot them.
When kids behave, we spank them.
Next up: ban the tickle torture!
Pretty sure that is a violation of the Geneva convention.
Who files the charges????
Instead they will use the soul-destroying harsh words they (and the Irish) are already infamous for, wounding the child’s confidence for life instead of warming his or her bottom.
