Smacking is illegal in Denmark too....this is sad I feel, cause some children clearly would react better to discipline by being given a light smack..
The problem over here is that they do not distuinguish between a thorough beating/molestation and a smack, so they banned everything. I can understand this though...
But haven't we all used the slapping of fingers etc on our own toddlers at some point anyway??
I have , that is for sure....fortunately it was not illegal!
I wonder how any government can think that by making smacking "illegal" it will prevent child abuse...
