UDontKnowMe says, above, that corporal punishment is banned in the UK; if they check he internet, they will find that... 'Smacking, or the light hitting of a child, remains legal within certain guidelines throughout the United Kingdom.'
Hope that helps clear things up, a little.

@lewis5341: I think it's the use of implements in schools that is particularly banned: the cane, slipper and (N.England & Scotland) tawse.

Corporal punishment is prohibited in schools in the Uk. Within the home it is still legal but is severely proscribed and in effect must not leave a mark.

From my personal experiences, I believe that (as in UK) corporal punishment (CP) for all children should be banned. The imposition of CP can be as a result of pathological symptoms in the perpetrator and it is better to avoid that situation even if some children are fearsome in their behaviour.
Also, when children behave badly, I believe that it almost always as a result of poor upbringing and lack of positive attachment.

Marylin. I don't believe that properly administered corporal punishment constitutes aggressive behaviour. But I suspect we will never agree and I don't wish at the moment to enter into a debate about the pros and cons of corporal punishment.

Adults who are aggressive towards children either verbally or physically, are modelling a behavior and potentially signalling its acceptability as a means of affecting behavior of those around them.

Form my own experience you are VERY right.
