"She reiterated that people would never smack their grandmothers out of love, as that would clearly be seen as wrong."

WTF ? People don't smack elders because they were bliksemed when young. ​

Eish

Constitutional Court says you don’t have a ‘right’ to smack your child

South Africa's Constitutional Court has ruled that the common law defence of 'reasonable and moderate parental chastisement' of children is unconstitutional.

I will give hidings if and when necessary. They can take me to court and end up in a foster home with all their privileges removed. The ball is in their court...

Most kids are gonna end up in welfare homes and their parents in jail.

I can already see the false accusations flying when johnny does not get that ps5 for his birthday...

Yes one needs to open a dialogue with your 3 yr old throwing a tantrum on the floor by the shop enterance. Talk about his feelings and stuff

eish - my toddler tries to smack me now and then when he doesn't get what he wants. Does the law cover that as well?

C. Court, we are creating a generation of spineless whining whimps

 

[gottagoon]

What is wrong with these people???

I was given hidings when I was damn naughty and I survived. We are busy creating a nation of snowflakes who don't know the consequences of their actions.

Talking nicely only works up to a point. If the kid won't listen than it must feel.

If this is the way forward there's only one lesson to learn here childless ladies.
If you want to spare yourself years of pain, stress and unhappiness, DONT MAKE BABIES

It might not be a right but isn't it a responsibility?

Luckily, daughter is now 15, to big to be getting hidings. Laaitie is 13 and he's pretty well behaved after I moered him when he was younger. The twins though... driving me up the walls
