The smacking of children will be banned in Scotland, the Scottish
Government has confirmed.

About 50 countries - including France, Germany, Sweden, Norway,
Denmark and Ireland - had already made the change.

How are they ever going to enforce this law, though?

Councils have great difficulty detecting genuine child abuse, let alone
the much lesser 'reasonable chastisement', and there's always the danger
of false accusations.



Teachers will ask the kids if mommy or daddy hit them. Police will come
if they said yes.
