I wish the debate had been worded differently, I wish it had been "should it be made illegal for any one to hit their child ? " In general parents have the responsibility of making their children responsible citizens. While hitting a child may not be a first recourse for any parent who has to discipline his child and prevent him from endangering himself and others, this remedy does work in situations when the child cannot be expected to understand why he should do or not do something. Parents will hit their children, no matter how loving they are towards their children, but these would be forgotten by the children themselves in later lives when they have their own children, and are faced with the task of their upbringing. To make it illegal, would be to take an unforgiving stance against a parent, which is not right. Often, a the fear of a child that he might be hit, is adequate to get him on the right path. So, I feel that it should not be illegal for a parent to hit a child. 136 days ago | Tagged As: yes
