Those advocating hitting their kids are suggesting that there are sometimes no other options. I can see why that might be your conclusion if your other attempts include rewarding your children for stealing. My kids are all over 24. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been told in no uncertain terms a tap on the arse is and was always within the law. The old rules say your not allowed to hit a child enough to leave a mark. I've been told that hitting is allowed but only up to assault. Where is this arbitrary line between a tap and an assault? Is it subjective? Is this whole charade a pile of shite with no concrete rules? Welcome to the common law system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not using your thumb, it's not a throttle. Or else you're throttling a very small child. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a shorthand version just don't hit your kids. If your bizarre tapping thing isn't hitting then you're fine. If it is then stop. I'll put you down as not being prepared to commit to where you think the law sits. That seems a bit odd as you we're very committed to me being one of the good guys when I was confused and you offered advice. I really thought you had all the answers. Now, seen as you've outed yourself as flapping your gums ( oh the irony) I'll let you be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Some people a bit confused about where the line is and what they're still "allowed" to do, it's a little bit complicated but stick with me. Here it is: Don't fucking hit your children. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you a wee bit of thievery is very tame when a teenager goes off the rails and the experts are not so expert when it happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
