This is the future of this country - no discipline, teachers can't, police can't and even parents can't give then a clip when they are bad and the best thing is the kids know this and it's growing out of control

Mate of a lad at work is the step father of 2 kids since they were babies and the boy trapped the girls head in the bedroom door so he grabbed him by the scruff, down the stairs and outside - next thing a teacher sees a small mark at school on the boy's chest and asked where it's from and he replied me dad flogged us - in the matter of hours the bloke is arrested for child abuse and is only allowed to see the kids whilst supervised by his mum and isn't allowed in his own house when they are there. On top of that his job is now at stake.

I was brought up with the slipper when i'd been a little twat - i don't agree with beating but as i parent of a young child how on earth do i disciplined a child nowadays if talking doesn't help??????? i'd love to know how the authorities advise to deal with kids that get too big for their boots
