What do gransnetters think about smacking, or not, of children? Children's Commisioner Maggie Atkinson wants it made illegal. I'm not too sure how it could ever be policed.

I was never smacked. It only teaches one lesson, you can hit someone if they are smaller or weaker. Parents don't smack when the child is bigger than them and can hit back!
