They could accuse you of domestic violence:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/7558...

"A man who was arrested and cautioned for slapping his 13-year-old daughter across the face fears he will no longer be able to work with children."

Now, my Dad smacked me when I was little (younger than 13), but only on the legs or hands (my brother would get a whack round the ear) and I don't think it did me any harm. But a slap round the face, to me, is a lot worse. A smack on the legs is punishment, a clip round the head is a "wake-up call" (to quote my favourite American show), but a slap in the face is a humiliation.

Just wondering what anyone else thinks?

PS) I also think the girl is bloody stupid for not realising her own actions might have consequences).
PPS) Apologies if this is a repost.

Silly girl and a silly father...

Not sure anyone could justify slapping their child in the face! Although she does look like the kind that needs one (a slap), just not from a family member if you see what I mean!

Is it still O.K. to slap your Mrs in the face?

Surely a slap around the chops for any woman is just a 'reset command' for when they become hysterical....???? wink


Much like a hard reset on a computer thats become locked up....

Slapping round the face is too far.

Just look what that Austrian had to do after he slapped his daughter because she said his alpine horn looked small.

I got slapped plenty as a kid and as a result I won't be hitting my own kids. There's no need for it. It's lazy parenting.

With your cock, yes.

They love that.

My oldest is 3 and so I'm not that far down the road of parenthood.

But surely slapping a child around the face displays a loss of control which isn't overly healthy. Self awareness is your friend when the little feckers are playing up.

You might not want it back.
