As a father, grandfather, and retired Church pastor the new law will place parents in an impossible situation and give children opportunity to simply lie about being smacked or use a sensible tap on the leg to get control of their parents. It is already accepted in law that only reasonable punishment may be used within the context of a loving family and in almost every case by the time a chld is 10 or 11 smacking is never needed anyway. This legislation will result in parents being punished, families being split up, young children being taken out of a natural environment, probably being bullied by tgheir schoolmates, end many marriage, put extra pressure on overworked social workers, require finance to support te children and their unfamiliar responsible dults forced to look after thm not for parental love but jut for money and break up family life. The children concerned will be bullied by their friends andhave to put upwith 'mummy is a criminal ' or 'daddy is a thug' taunts and will be the innocent subjects of cruelty and bullying thereby losingthe chance of a normal life. This law is ill thought, anti family, ruinous to schooling and eduction and will destroy civilised society in the same way as socialist countries indocrinate the children they ftake control just as Hitler Youth did!

There is already legal cover protecting children from abusive parents and this ill thought scheme will fail to stop bad parenting and do untold damage to family life.
Best thing is to tear it up and think through things rateher than this socialist charter too take over children controlling them by people who are not their parents so will have no natural live for the strangers they will presumably be paid to look after

Potential barriers ? No caring parent or thinking politician would conider implementing this destruction of family life nor provide the number of professionsal carers with no inherited ties to the children but merely doing it for the money that the parents of the stolen children will be forced to pay from their taxes. Those whio implement this act may well be puttingthemselvesin danger if the reactions of parents whose children have been stolen andopened to abuse by the state and the children's homes who already have had a bad reputation in history.

The Bill should simply be scrapped and parts assisted to help them through any temporar problems.

See section 1. No resourcs available, no 'spare' social services or money to. Pay for the needs of these kids, no suport for the despair of parents especially when the cbrighter kids will know how to get their parents in trouble or bribe them into getting their own way knowing a complaint will be used by social services to remove children and possibly put them into overcrowded 'homes' where they are far more likely to bebused or have behaviour problems.We Simply cant afford to look after the kids nor provide suitable foster or adoptive parents and putting them in childrens homes will probably do more damage than the occasional slap!

Where will the money properties and suitable moms and dads come from or will they simply be passed on to people who will not provide 'mom and dad' figures but to anyone who is willing to take them in with the inherebnt dangesrs of sexual and other abuse.
