I was hit with a stick and reflecting on it now if it was outlawed then it wouldn't have broken the law."He then asked TV guest Rebecca Wilcox: "Is that one of the reasons with that knock-on effect, it would make parents them stop and think if this ban was introduced?"Rebecca is a journalist and daughter of Childline founder Miriam Wilcox.She then replied: "It's been proven if you make it illegal, it's a form of education, it's not about criminalising parents, but smacking has a negative impact on mental health all the way through childhood and adolescence."We need to evolve out of violence, you should not be smacking, discipline means teaching.
