Smacking ban

Smack? No, most parents ignore naughtiness THE vast majority of parents – four out of five – think smacking their children is neither useful nor effective, according to research from a university.

Smacking vital as last resort, insist parents in 'Growing Up' study NEARLY half of all Scottish parents of toddlers believe smacking their children is necessary to discipline them.

Scotland faces 'global disgrace' for Executive failure to ban smacking A POWERFUL UN watchdog is preparing a report that will criticise the Scottish Executive for its failure to outlaw the smacking of children.

To smack or not to smack? THE right - or not - of a parent to chastise their child is possibly one of the most sensitive subjects when it comes to the issue of how far it is proper for the state and law courts to impinge on personal liberties.
