Should Smacking Children Be Banned? | This Morning

Subscribe now for more! http://bit.ly/1JM41yF Yesterday afternoon, Scotland became the first country in the UK to make it a criminal offence for parents to smack their children. The Scottish Parliament voted by a margin of 84 to 29 to pass the bill, which prohibits parents from using ‘reasonable physical force’ when disciplining their children. But, as campaigners urge the UK Government to follow suit in England, were MSPs right in their decision? Joining us to discuss is journalist, Clare Muldoon - who says smacking has done ‘no harm’ to her own children. She’s here alongside broadcaster, Rebecca Wilcox, who supports the new legislation.
