I'm against the bill. Let parents decide how to disclipline their children. As said above, the bill will NOT stop the parents who currently abuse their children. They WILL continue to do this. It's the innocent parents who lightly smack their kids to keep them in line that are going to suffer from this bill.

I got smacked when I was a kid and it hasn't affected me in any negative way. I've smacked my nieces when they've been bad too. They know that if they get a smack (it's never hard) it means I'm VERY serious about what I'm saying and that they're being VERY bad if they get a smack. They never do it again.
