Loving parents could be criminalised: Please pray
from The Christian Institute:
The Scottish Government has announced that it will support a Bill to criminalise parental smacking.
The proposal mirrors a plan for Wales announced last year by First Minister Carwyn Jones.
This is a huge threat to families in Scotland. Even the mere suspicion of parental smacking could see children removed from their parents and questioned by government officials.
It is important that Christians and others speak out against this massive state intrusion into family life now.
Smacking is not child abuse. It is one of many ways for parents to discipline their children and an important one which should not be illegal. There is a clear difference between child abuse and loving parental discipline.
