"I saw it reported recently that the spanking of your child has now been declared a criminal offence. Is this true?"

Corporal Punishment:

Here is a query we received yesterday via email.

 "I saw it reported recently that the spanking of your child has now been declared a criminal offence.

Is this true? Will this not result in an overloading our justice system even more than it already is?"

We all know that corporal punishment in any form in our schools has been outlawed for a long time.

But what is the situation at home?
