__ Parents should be able to smack their children __     
 * The anti smacking law has been around for years and nothing was wrong with it. I can not see anything wrong with smacking your child. The smacking law was made to keep kids happy and to protect them from violence. You should be able to smack your child but there is a fine line between smacking your child and abusing him/her. If you give your child a smack then he/her will not do whatever he did in the first place to get the smack again. I can’t stand how much “political correctness” there is in the world why cant we smack our children they are never going to remember it anyway and it will only hurt for a few minutes. Sue Bradford of the green party was the one who came up with the idea to ban smacking your children. **
 * For my first reason in why there should be no anti smacking law. There should be no anti smacking law because with out much punishment then kids will keep doing the things they shouldn’t be. You should be allowed to smack but you can not!!! Hit them with metal, wood or anything that could do any more damage then a human hand. As a result of hurting your child with anything other than a human hand such as a wooden spoon Should be allowed but hitting a child with a garden hose should go under child abuse and be sent to the cops immediately. **
 * Secondly nothing will happen to you if you get smacked for example my two brothers were raised in a house where smacking was normal if they did anything naughty and they both came out fine. I could put money on it that a kid who got smacked when he did something naughty will not be as naughty as one who didn’t. **
 * Furthermore in New Zealand there is a major abuse problem and ever since the anti smacking law came in place there hasn’t been any improvement in the abuse in fact there has been more abuse cases since because the mothers or fathers of there children can’t punish their children well enough so their children keep doing naughty things which lead to the parents getting angry and abusive. **
 * In conclusion I think that smacking is a good thing because you will have good children and. **
