I just cant get over this it disgusts me!

Child abuse is no fucken joke u sick old man

[rynso]

This post is illustrative of the type of foul, abusive language that has often been used by those who would claim to be against abuse...sweet irony...

Future posts with foul, abusive, or violent language will be deleted and the poster asked to repost using more acceptable terms...

However if a defence allows people to escape prosecution for beating their children should this be allowed?

Because that's what was happening when reasonable force was there.

No Good parent has been prosecuted because of the law change. That's what family first deliberately isn't telling anyone.

89% did not vote against the amendment to s.59

Latest polls have showen 30% now oppose the legislation, 113 MPs voted for the amendment and a YES VOTE

is supported by BARNARDOS, PLUNKET, UNICEF, SAVE THE CHILDREN,

WOMENS REFUGE and 70 other NGOs

A quick smack on a child's bottom harms the child physically not at all. If there was harm is would be abuse. The main point of a smack isn't physical its physiological. It is to show a line has been crossed. It should not be used frequently nor in anger. There are many behaviours we might consider undesirable - smacking being one - but there should be a clear line between this and physical abuse.

[cheetah100]

Child Abuse is certainly no joke. The real question here is what effect will this law have? By conflating a small inconsequential smack on the bum with beating the living daylights out of a child we very well may actually reduce reporting of child abuse. John Key talks about this law "working" - but to date I have seen no statistical evidence to support such a claim.

This isn't just about the facts anymore.

%89 voted against this bill and communist Labour ignored them.

I'm voting for the NZ peoples voice, I'm voting for NZ Democracy, I'm voting in favour of discipline, I'm voting against the anti smacking bill.

another example i asked child psyhologist my friend what her advise when kids doesnt listen to you and she told that at work she advise parents talk to kids but in reality she does punish her kids coz talking not always help.

[annimasy]

i think ppl have to understand that there is difference between abuse and discipline.and so what they offer if parent once smack child take kids away?do they think that it sbetter for kids grow up in foster home.if you look back most of older ppl grow up and their parents would smack them once in a while and now with all this talking that smacking is wrong most of kids have no idea how to behave right.

Clearly you failed 5th FORM English!

Excellent video, though maybe too 'close to the bone' for misotheists!
