episode 237: Why Are Children The Only People It's Still Legal To Hit?
To smack, or not to smack? That is the question.
In Wales, a law has just passed which means it's going to be illegal to smack your children from 2022 but in Australia, it's still very much legal.
Today, The Quicky looks into the laws around smacking and the psychological effects on our children when we use corporal punishment.
