| 550254 | 2007-10-29 07:48:00 | I don't give a toss what Family First says - I don't even know who they are and nor do I particularly care. I am all for family values but not as dictated to me by a misguided idealogical Government or political organisations with a barrow to push. I guess I'm with you Ken on this one. That article I linked to has changed dramatically from the time I linked to it this morning...... Anyhoo : "Ms Bradford said often that public smacking could be a sign of bigger problems occurring behind closed doors." Really? How did you work that one out Sue? What about putting children in clothes dryers? Or hanging them on washing lines? Have you stopped any child deaths in Rotorua with your law Sue? What you are you doing about child abusers Sue? Nothing because it is easier to target law-abiding citizens who are trying to do the best for their families. And this : "She said the police had been kind, but had warned her of possible charges if it happened again." So the police are making this up as they go along? It smacks of (pun intended) "now don't do it again!". Poor cops - like they want to get called out to a domestic residence because some nosy neighbour likes to bring everyone down to their level..... This is absolutely farcical. Some posters, police and politicians are unable to differentiate between abuse and discipling a child as evidenced by the fact (3) police actually attended this 'incident'. Oh dear...... |

If anybody actually wants to stop child abuse, cops would have to be near the top of the list I'd say.

Some posters don't even know anything about the law change itself. Or its aims. |

When was the contempt thing invoked Ken? You got that other in quite nicely.:) |

Posters like yourself and people like Sue use emotive words to make associations that simply don't exist. Some posters don't even know anything about the law change itself. Or its aims.And your point is? Own goal I'd say... |

I'd be very interested to hear which emotive word I used and which association I made. And your point is? Well, it seems that you're the emotional one. You're getting quite upset at what is nothing more than the repeal of a legal defense. That the neighbours called the police should mean that the neighbours are the target of your indignation at the "waste" of police time - not Sue Bradford. Have you actually read Section 59 of the Crimes Act 1961? You can find it here (www.legislation.govt.nz) (under "C"). |
