I can tell you now that smacking, when used sparingly, is very effective.

I see these little sh1ts running rough shot over their parents all the time. No real boundaries, no real consequences.

Smacking was removed over night but zero training or support on what parents can do instead for effective discipline. So a lot of kids just get away with murder now and parents give in for some peace and quiet. I do think we are starting to see more and more of the social consequences of that law change.

And the law was passed to stop serious child abuse. Well, it was never going to have any impact on people who actually beat (and sometimes even murder) their kids. No evidence of serious harm on children decreasing, but the majority of good parents criminilised if they smack. And by God, sometimes these kids do need a crack on the arse to sort them out when they start getting too carried away and get ideas that listening to their parents and behaving is optional.

The World has gone mad. My wife came home extremely frustrated yesterday after teaching a class of 7 yo. One badly behaved boy basically disrupted teaching for the whole day. She went 3 times to talk to the Principal who was never available. Only Principal and Deputy Principals can do anything about this. My wife was not allowed to discipline him in any way except try to talk to him, but he did not listen to anything and went as far as calling her a bi**h. So one 7 yo basically ruined the day for the other 26 kids in the class as well as the teacher & teacher aid.
The whole system is bloody useless and with our inability to discipline these kids and teach them what is not an acceptable behaviour, it will keep getting worse.
