The child should be smacked ? Ooft .

[jourdain2]

I confess to having misread 15 months for 18 months, but the woman's reaction was well OTT. At 18 months a smack on the hand, or nappied bottom would be OK to say 'you don't do this'. But the woman was well out of order.

[anneasquith]

3months difference .?

[gness]

No, Jordain.....I have managed to bring up two very well without smacking...as I said...only out of control adults hit children.

[jourdain2]

3 months makes a big difference anne.
Sorry gness - grandson was never, ever smacked and is now the school bully...…….. giving us huge problems.

[Spicerack]

Stabbing them is OK, though.

[retrocop]

Obviously when arrested she would of been searched by the arresting office and found not to possess a bladed weapon otherwise the charge sheet would be a little longer.
Given the circumstances the threat that she had a knife and would stab the baby would give serious concern to any Londoner these days bearing in mind the soaring knife crimes.

This baby is in a buggy, smack your baby in public and you may well have social services at your door .

You think smacking would have helped, J? On the other side I have one who was smacked once forty five years ago and I'm still ashamed of myself for doing it.
The other was never smacked.....both now in their thirties and forties are fine and gentle adults to be proud of.
I have seen and taught children whose parents thought violence was the answer...its not.
Hitting children is wrong.

The violence of black culture knows no bounds.

[jourdain2]

Gness - so why is grandson (never smacked) so violent that he is the school bully and threatened with exclusion?

[Mamyalynne]

What useful contribution to this thread would you have made if the article hadn't had pictures?

[Mamyalynne]

^ That was to Theland.

[pixie374]

My four weren't smacked and weren't school bullies- so it isn't that anyway.
I thought you were joking about smacking the woman.

[Theland]

Mamya, not a lot.
Black culture is scary.
I am wary of it.
Have you experienced it?

[Mamyalynne]

Jourdain, it must be awful for you all as a family to see his behaviour and I hope you get things sorted - but please, never ever think it's because he wasn't punished physically.

[Mamyalynne]

Exactly Theland, without the pictures you would have had nothing to add.

I have experienced violence, yes.

[gness]

I don't know, J......I just know that hitting children is wrong.....it's not how you teach manners and good behaviour...how can it be?
