Good to see the law making sense for a change. But what of the cops wasting tax payers money prosecuting this crap!

Finally.

Bring on the old timber spoon. I copped it left right and center.
Timber spoon breaks so out come the metal one's. When that didn't work I remember the
old leather belt and the slapping of pulling the 2 ends together as a warning you will get
a flogging. Sure enough 2mins later though I would be receiving leather welts across my butt.

Who cares about the money. Gov sure doesn't. I would rather a society of children being smacked that grow up to be positively contributing people, not some crack head
that was never smacked and cost us 10 fold that in the 150 violation's and court time +
us (you) paying for their habit's on the dole.
