I agree with the need for consequences but society has moved from the corporal punishment of children. I was brought up in a family where a good skelp administered at the appropriate time taught us a lesson. However, there are now too many adults in NZ (and around the world) who do not know how to do this. When I read that another child has been killed by an adult who is supposed to be protecting and nurturing them it sickens me to the bone. When stats show that ELEVEN percent of homicide victims in NZ are children under 5 (I can't find the numbers on kids that survived horrendous hidings) I understand why there is such a strong move way from this kind of punishment. It takes more thought and imagination but there are other ways to teach kids the consequences of their behaviour.
