About you

Individual

1 The Bill’s general principles

1.1 Do you support the principles of the Children (Abolition of Defence of Reasonable Punishment) (Wales) Bill?

— Yes

1.2 Please outline your reasons for your answer to question 1.1

(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 1000 words)

Children need to fully understand what is right and wrong,

A gentle reprimand ( ie smacking ) helps them to fully understand how thy are expected to behave.

Schools should also be allowed to Administer corporal punishment for extreme behaviour.

In the 1950 s The threat of caning was a huge deterrent for the children not to misbehave.

It only took one child to be caned in front of the school to see a huge improvement from the rest of the school.

1.3 Do you think there is a need for legislation to deliver what this Bill is trying to achieve?

(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 1000 words)

The present Law should remain. If parents overstep the mark they will face prosecution.

Changing the Law will make no difference , Parents know what is best for their children and they surely realise that being extreme will result in prosecution.

Whatever the law demands we cannot keep a 24 hour watch over every parent.

2 The Bill’s implementation

2.1 Do you have any comments about any potential barriers to implementing the Bill? If no, go to question 3.1

(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 1000 words)

It will not change the the Parent Child relationship in any way.

2.2 Do you think the Bill takes account of these potential barriers?

(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 1000 words)

The education system needs to change concerning Christian Education , in the 1950s R.E was compulsory.

Totally taught from the Bible. , Good manners, Respect for parents and teachers, and each others.

All the talk about R.E teaching all faiths and R.S.E teaching gender. and different lifestyles ito 3yrs -16 yrs is total rubbish.

Maybe some of it could be told to the 16 yr old.children for them to understand how some people have decided to live but certainly not to tell them it is normal behaviour.

Damien Hinds Education Minister say we are a Christian Country It's time we started living like one.

3 Unintended consequences

3.1 Do you think there are there any unintended consequences arising from the Bill? If no, go to question 4.1

4 Financial implications

4.1 Do you have any comments on the financial implications of the Bill (as set out in Part 2 of the Explanatory Memorandum)? If no, go to question 5.1

(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 1000 words)

Waste of money it's not going to make any difference to Parent Child relationship.

Use the money to give the Education they need to live a more responsible life.

5 Other considerations
