Parents must be able to use their wisdom, experience and discretion in the raising of their children. If you remove a parents ability to use reasonable punishment as we deem fit, we will have a generation of totally unruly children who
have never learnt that there are consequences of misbehaving and being disobedient.
We are already seeing a lack of respect for parents and for teachers since all these new laws prohibiting teachers and parents from smacking children. I totally agree that a child should never be hit in anger or abused in any way, but this is not whats under debate, this is taking away the authority of a loving parent to disciple their child in love.

Yes many good loving parents, in fact the countries best and most loving parents including most christian parents could potentially be fined, imprisoned and have their children taken away and their children raised by the state who doesnt love or care about them at all, the consequences could be devastating

There would be huge costs involved in prosecuting innocent families and a huge burden on the state to police it.
There are already plenty of laws in place to prevent child abuse this is becoming ridiculous, taking away all parental rights.
