What's wrong with a slap?

WHY, oh why, do parents let their children scream, cry and throw tantrums while out shopping?

It is so infuriating to be queuing up at the checkout and have to listen to wailing kids.

What's wrong with slapping their legs or their bums? That's how generations of children were disciplined by responsible parents and it never did them any harm.

I'm fed up with so-called 'PC' parents who don't believe in physical punishment. Teachers can't even point to a pupil's tie if it's not done up properly for fear of being accused of assault.

It's not surprising that wild kids turn into rebellious teenagers.
