The state should be very careful not to interfere with the family.
There is already legislation to deal with child abuse reasonable smacking is not abuse.
Do not waste resources on this unnecessary bill

Yes it will be impossible to enforce, its horrifying to think children may be removed from loving homes put with people they don't know while parents are investigated and even if left in the home what will it do to there relationships? Far more damage than the original smack

Yes it's hard to grasp just how much money will be wasted not to mention the irreparable damage caused to children, parents and officials

Yes there are so many children and young people who have never known loving homes with loving parents who exercise gently discipline who need resources spent on them to rescue them. So throw this bill out and put help where it's needed.
Parents must be able to exercise reasonable punishment and there is already legislation against abuse
