I am firm against this Anti-Smacking bill. As you said above, the people out there who beat there kids up, are still going to continue to do so. I was one of those nasty 'hate the world and everyone in it' teenages. I ran away from home, got in with the wrong crowd and abused my parent's verbally and physically. I was smacked and I turned into a pretty normal law abiding tax paying adult. Let Parent's raise there kids, as they see fit. The day the government steps in, to tell them how to do it, is a very sad one.
