Just Pointing The Blame Again..?

Mp David lammy says smacking children could of prevented riots and feels the smacking ban should be undone.

Now to me its not as simple as that there was alot of things going on and there is alot of issues on going on in britain. You cant blame something like the riots on adults not smacking children...im sure some of the children were and there was adult involved in the riots...i wondered how many of them were smacked as children?

Article ritten by Tom Parry...
"I have to say when this was first raised with me I was pretty disparaging. But I started to listen. These parents are scared to smack their children and paranoid that social workers will get involved and take their children away."
I would say from this it isnt a smacking things its general disapline, if parents are scared to inforce any disicpline the result probly would be children running riot, theres no fear...no punishment, if there isnt consequences for your actions then why not just do what ever you want...
