The Prime Minister John Key announced to the country yesterday that it is now ok to smack.
Let me quote his words from the NZ Herald.
"Lightly smacking a child will be in the course of parenting for some parents and I think that's acceptable. It is up to individual parents to decide how they're going to parent their children ... Some people will continue to lightly smack their child for correction, some will not. It is up to them to decide."
Did John Key consult cabinet? No
Did John Key pass a law through Parliament? No
So how can it be OK to smack for correction when the law says this??
"Nothing in subsection (1) or in any rule of common law justifies the use of force for the purpose of correction."
I'm sorry John, but you haven't changed the law, therefore the law overrides your opinion.
Whatever John Key says, it is still a criminal offense for parents to smack for the purpose of correction.

I think this guy is nuts!, spanking your kids is not right!, teaching them that by way of force they can achieve things will may turn them into potential bullies!! On the other hand educational lesson plans with high quality contents on ethics and moral values, is more appropriate to teach your kids to behave properly.

Who cares if technically it's a criminal offense? There are many misdemeanors that most people are guilty of that go unnoticed and/or unpunished, many of them inconsequential. Good parents are mot being convicted and bad parents can't abuse the s59 defense.
