Ban smacks of needing more work
To smack or not to smack is still a divisive issue in Western society.
Last year the Pope caused controversy when he suggested smacking children by parents could be loving if a child’s dignity was maintained, the Australian book the Slap and the subsequent 2015 US television series of the same name, sparked debate on both continents where smacking children is still permitted, and our closest neighbours, the UK still permit smacking if it doesn’t leave a mark on a child’s skin.
