Where corporal punishment in the home is outlawed

Corporal punishment of children by parents, is unlawful in the following countries[1] -

* Austria - since 1989
* Bulgaria - since 2000
* Croatia - since 1999
* Costa Rica - since 2008
* Cyprus - since 1994
* Denmark - since 1997
* Finland - since 1983
* Germany - since 2000
* Greece - since 2007
* Hungary - since 2004
* Iceland - since 2003
* Israel - since 2000
* Kenya - since 2010
* Latvia - since 1998
* Luxembourg - since 2008
* Moldova - since 2009
* Netherlands - since 2007
* New Zealand - since 2007, when the Crimes (Substituted Section 59) Amendment Act 2007 came into effect. However, a non-binding citizen-initiated referendum on corporal punishment in August 2009 produced a large majority against the ban. A private member's bill was then introduced to Parliament to overturn the ban, but it failed at first reading: see New Zealand corporal punishment referendum, 2009.
* Norway - since 1987 [3](The Supreme court ruled in 2005 that a light "careful slap" applied immediately after the "offence" is still allowed.[4] Legislature abolished this in 2010, and the current law is that any violence against children, including careful slaps, is prohibited.[5])
* Poland - since 2010
* Portugal - since 2007
* Romania - since 2004
* Sweden - Parents' right to spank their own children was first removed in 1966,[6] and it was explicitly prohibited by law from July 1979.
* Spain - since 2007
* Tunisia - since 2010 [7]
* Ukraine - since 2004
* Uruguay - since 2007
* Venezuela - since 2007

The penalties vary by country. In Sweden, for example, corporal punishment does not necessarily carry a criminal penalty unless it meets the criteria for assault.[6]

In Brazil, a law banning corporal punishment is being considered.[8]

Precedent: In common law legal systems, a precedent or authority is a legal case establishing a principle or rule that a court or other judicial body may utilize when deciding subsequent cases with similar issues or facts.
So in the way our court systems work, yes they would.

I highly doubt this would even go to court, or even be reported as abuse by anyone in the family. Sure there could be some nut case who saw the video and tries to report it, but corporal punishment at home is legal in the U.S.

Also this is the list Jet is talking about, I think:

Calling other countries worthless, sport?

why, ***-faced ***started Jetabitch doesn't tickle your fancy?

I'm a bit late to the conversation, but I have had experience with both types of discipline. My parents divorced when I was 3 years old, so for several years I lived at two separate homes with two separate styles.

My mom and stepfather spanked me when I did bad things. When I was very naughty, I was slapped across the mouth.

My dad and stepmother guilt tripped when I did bad things. I was never spanked at their house, but I was scolded and guilted a LOT. It took me years after I stopped seeing them to get over saying sorry to everyone about everything.

I wish very much that my dad and stepmother had just spanked me when I deserved it instead of guilting me. The pain is very mild, I can't recall a time that a spanking actually hurt more than a few moments. It got the point across quicker than the guilt trips and made me less likely to be bad again than the guilt trips, PLUS the spankings didn't take years to get over like the guilt trips. They took five or ten minutes to get over.

Anyways, long story short, having experienced both types of discipline I very much prefer the spanking method. I don't know that I will ever have children, but if I do, I would prefer to give them small spanks for bad behavior if they respond better to that.

quite frankly it doesn't matter what you prefer, the physical assault was still abuse and the worse method

Worse to have 5 minutes MAX of very mild stinging sensation than years of feeling guilty and insecure about everything? :-( I will have to agree to disagree with you on that one.

As a kid my father used to belt me when I got in trouble and I thank him for it. The level of discipline with the current generation of teenagers/kids is so low more parents should follow this guys example.

In the UK, spanking or smacking is legal, but it may not leave a mark on the body, and in Scotland since October 2003 it has been illegal to use any implements when disciplining a child. The total abolition of corporal punishment has been discussed.[15] In a 2004 survey, 71% of the population would support a ban on parents smacking their children.[16] In a 2006 survey, 80% of the population said they believed in smacking, and 73% said that they believed that any ban would cause a sharp deterioration in children's behaviour. Seven out of ten parents said they themselves use corporal punishment.[17]

Liela, I'm sorry that you had to endure both physical and emotional abuse as a child. That really really sucks.

But choosing between the two is akin to choosing between getting shot in the face or being slowly bled to death by cutting a major blood vessel. Sure, if forced to choose between the two, I guess anyone would choose the gunshot. Who would want to slowly bleed out to death?
Then again, who really would want to be shot in the face? ...

Here's the facts, folks, based on psychological study:

When young people are beaten, their brains learn that beatings are "normal", "harmless", or even "good for you". This causes development in the brain similar to what occurs to victims of "battered wife syndrome".
Furthermore, once violence is hard-wired into a young person's brain, it is permanent. So while a spanking does not "turn someone into a musclebound blood-lusting cretin", as some hyperbolic numskull suggested in this thread, it DOES PERMANENTLY hard-wire the child's brain to accept and condone violence as commonplace, acceptable and "no big deal".

You can not argue against this. It's scientific fact.

Those of you that are advocating for corporal punishment for children, you're all blind and innocent victims of this abuse, so I don't blame you, and I do feel compassion for you. As I said before, you deserved much better, probably.

You can go on praising you fathers for "beating some sense into you" or such drivel. But when you do that, think about the battered-wife syndrome. You're the SAME as the wife who keeps coming back to the man who beats her ... coming back to get more of that good tough lovin'.

Australia

In Australia, corporal punishment of children in the home is legal in every state and territory,[9][10] provided it is "reasonable".

Parents who act unreasonably may be committing an assault.[11][12] The Australian state of Tasmania is continuing to review the state's laws on the matter, and may seek to ban the use of corporal punishment by parents. The matter is also under review in other Australian states. A 2002 public opinion survey suggested the majority view was in support of retaining parents' right to smack with the open hand but not with an implement,[13] although as of 2010, there are no laws against using an implement.

Canada

In Canada, parents may spank their children, but there are several restrictions.

In Canadian Foundation for Children, Youth and the Law v. Canada (2004) the Supreme Court upheld, in a 6-3 decision, the use of "reasonable" force to discipline children, rejecting claims that moderate spanking violated children's rights. However, it stipulated that the person administering the punishment must be a parent or legal guardian, and not a school teacher or other person (i.e. non-parental relatives such as grandparents, aunts, or uncles, as well as babysitters and other caretakers, are banned from spanking); that the force must be used "by way of correction" (sober, reasoned uses of force that address the actual behaviour of the child and are designed to restrain, control or express some symbolic disapproval of his or her behaviour), that the child must be capable of benefiting from the correction (i.e. not under the age of 2 or over 12, etc.), and that the use of force must be "reasonable under the circumstances", meaning that it results neither in harm nor in the prospect of bodily harm. Punishment involving slaps or blows to the head is harmful, the Court held.[14] Use of any implement other than a bare hand is illegal, and "bare-bottom" spanking is also illegal. Provinces also legally have the authority to enact complete bans, although none currently does so.

Lol'd at the fact you think a psychological study counts as scientific FACT

I don't see the problem with a light spanking. I do think the uncle on the video went too far but I don't know the situation so that's just an opinion based on my own feelings.

I agree with some corporal punishment, as a last resort. People like Jeta forget that it escalates into a spanking, doesn't start as one.

@OP
That is *** quality lmao.
"Don't tell me!"
Getting your ***stomped for bangin' under false pretense is a common occurrence,
he's lucky it was a belt by a loved one.

Classic case of knocking some sense into an individual.
Parents, don't be afraid to raise your hand to your children.
I'm not saying to knuckle box them in the Wal-Mart or what have you but...
There is nothing wrong with a spanking.
