The Krankie Returns
Central Defender
Whilst this is the news article it’s worth a read.
Interesting for me was a line in the article about those who say it never did them any harm as a child therefore there isn’t a link and uses the analogy of a smoker that doesn’t get lung cancer. The science doesn’t back that up.
Anyway, there will still be those who will say that getting smacked never did them any harm, but they will probably be the ones who go on to smack their children.
And there will be people on here who say that it’s illegal in the UK to smack children. Well it’s also illegal to commit a burglary, deal drugs and exceed the speed limit, yet all of those things happen on a daily basis. Making something illegal doesn’t stop it.
