| 1383988 | 2014-09-16 05:57:00 | You reckon????? Yes. Hardly any un-warranted prosecutions I honestly can't see why people object to it. If there are no frivolous prosecutions and the law makes people think twice before injuring a child, what's the problem? Edit: unless you think it's about smacking |

| 1383993 | 2014-09-17 04:04:00 | Actually there are a large number of unwarranted prosecutions for it. Family First recently did a "story" on 10 of them. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1383994 | 2014-09-17 05:24:00 | Parents should always be prepared to follow through. Kids fighting in the back seat of the car was an absolute nono, and many times I would turn the car around and drive home again, even if it was on the way to swimming, which we all liked. They soon learned! LL Yeah. Friend had a boy who liked tantrums, when he was 4 he threw one at some shops. On the ground, the whole works. She told kid if he didn't stop it they'd leave him there. She got in my car and said drive round the corner. I did. He stopped and came running round the corner all panicked. It worked. Granddaughter at age 4 decided it was a fun thing to, when she'd come over - 80km from her place - say that she wanted to go home now. Then when we'd say are you sure, shall we ring mum, say no she didn't want to, then a bit later, want to go home etc etc. So the next time she came, at 8pm she tried that again, so I packed her stuff up, put her in the car and drove her back. She was crying when we arrived. But she never did that again. Ever. |

| 1383996 | 2014-09-17 11:08:00 | no, it was still on the books untill 2007. thats what the anti smack bill replaced. while old laws may not be used, because its still on the books it still can be used. I think you might need to re-read your source. Slavery was outlawed when the British annexed New Zealand in 1840, immediately prior to the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, although it did not end completely until government was effectively extended over the whole of the country with the defeat of the Kingi movement in the Wars of the mid-1860s. en.wikipedia.org |
