Indeed. But having skinhead squaddies mouthing obscenties at little (in age!) kids is not going to help anyone.

We're getting to the point, ff it's the parents fault then why don't we give the parent a slap for being a terrible parent?

Leave the kid alone.

I was on receiving end of a smack on the backside (always from my mother as it happens) as a child. I would never class myself as having been beaten as a child.

Because sometimes, just sometimes, the child can be an arse.

I'm saying this as I've had a 2 year old go through what was, in essence, a month long tantrum where she was disciplined, removed from shops/rooms and smacked (where warranted) - she's far better now though and is a thorough joy and well behaved

However, this doesn't seem to be the case in the OP's original post and those children clearly were out of control.

I've obviously touched a nerve by comparing him to FCK.

How do you define it then? The action is to inflict pain so the kids does not do the act again. Would you "hit" your own kids?

Define "hit".

A smack to the legs or being kicked down the stairs.

There is a world of difference.

I said that before BTW, the parents need a slap for not disciplining the kid, but the kid does need a good slap as well.

Yes I would. Yes.

If they behave badly they'll get a smack. They'll learn.

I would define a beating as the child needing hospital treatment. Would i hit my own kids if i had any? No, but only because if i had any kids they would be a damn sight more well behaved than the average child in britain today, but if they were to step out of line, then a sharp smacking would be given to make sure they wouldnt do it again

In my experiance they will learn without ever being hit by either parent.

Nice one.

You believe in God too, I mean as well as hitting your own children (that you haven't had yet)?

This is brilliant!

My nephews (2 & 5) are both excellent little dudes - i have no doubt that this is down to a combo of "naughty step" & a smacked bum when they're being little sts.

At the fairford airshow the other week, the benefits brigade parked up next to me....Wayne & Waynetta didn't get out the car to watch anything, spent from 10am - 3pm eating & smoking constantly. The 3 brats were left to run about and anytime they got near their parents they were promptly told to "ps off" through a shower of scotch egg or pork pie....That's when swearing at kids isn't cool ;D

Although I did feel like shouting it at them myself, a lot.
