Spanking in your nation

[Romandeos]

Assault is not condoned in Fatatatutti.

Neither is it here, though we fail to see what that has to do with corporal punishment.

We define assault as an act of physical violence against a person.

The definition for corporal punishment is only some 2 or 3 words longer.

Corporal punishment has a purpose. Assault generally does not. We find this difference sufficient to justify corporal punishment, provided it is not unnecessarily applied excessively.

Belts, straps, canes, etc... are usually viewed as excessive. Bare, open hands are not. That is not to say that is all we use in such instances.

[Our Glorious Chairman]

Spanking corrupts the children it is done to, and parents who spank their children are corrupt and abusive, as a result if a child is spanked both the child, and the person doing the spanking are put to death. If a parent thinks a child has been bad they can report it to our Glorious Chairman, and if the child is found to be corrupt they will be put to death.

[Kingdom Brittania]

Illegal, Frowned Upon

[Haiz]

We dont allow parents and others to assault others. What is the sense in this? We use rational solutions.

[West Ponente]

Not illegal, or really frowned upon, or really common as far as we know

[Sveti Duh]

Spanking is legal and common in Sveti Duh. Bare hands, belts, straps, canes, birchs etc. are used, both in school and home. Spanking is supported by the government and 96% population do spank their children. Others punish them in other ways (removal of privileges, grounding etc.) Our schools and families are firmly authoritian.

[The shee species]

Considered child abuse.

[Sveti Duh]

Considered child abuse.

We condemn this kind of disrespect to the authority and good, old styles of discipline and education.

[Falasia]

There is a vote building up and debates everywhere. Falasia's children and youth up to the age of 10 have been treated with the normal smack every hour and then and they learn. Also they get sent to there room for some cases but don't learn. Most people think spanking is the answer and just carries on doing it and some other just let them go and they can find the punishments and consequences for themselves and find out what's the right and wrong thing to do.

This is good, but we advice you to use some more severe punishments, and for kids up to age when they are enough mature to understand the words. Each child is different - some learn after one spanking, some up to age of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...

P.S. If child doesn't learn after 10 spankings, it will after 11th one. If not after 11th one, then after 12th. Spanking is the only right answer.

[Ziok]

Legal within the Empire, however it is seeming to become less and less common

We call your people to spank your children as they did some years/decades/centuries ago. We have some governesses which wish to discipline your kids. Interested?

If you try to "punish" parents of our nation, which regulary spank their children, you can have serious problems with the domestic laws and those citizens of Freelasio which try to do so will be put in jail and caned.

[Freelasio]

nope! i passed a law (yes it was in an issue) that made parents fear the police! they cowered in fear...and besides...who wil volunteer to be destroy by quantum forces of the post-future tech level!! IF YOU HAVENT NOTICED THERE ARE NO RIGHTS IN MY COUNTRY BUT ECONOMICALLY

[Jakra]

The Federal government has no policy on it, leaving that to the jurisdiction of the state and provincial governments. While several states ban or regulate it, most do not consider it illegal or improper so long as it does no permanent harm.

[Tabytha]

The level of "discipline" described in the opening statement is unacceptable and would result in arrest of the parent, perhaps even termination by law court of custody.

Having said that, spanking is an acceptable method of child discipline in this country, used in moderation. Use of anything but an open hand, however, is generally very strongly frowned upon, and in a few States it is even illegal.

Foreign nations, such as Freelasio, have no legal authority in the United States on this or any issue.

Same here

[Veneratis]

spanking is illegal.

[Seperate Vermont]

It falls under the crimes of:
-Assault
-Superiority

[Satirius]

Spanking is usually carried out by a long, supple stick lashed against the buttocks. Hurts like hell, and gets the message across in one or two blows, while causing no real damage. Spankings are carried out in private, however, as to not cause undue damage psychologically.

[Pythria]

We allow it. Parents often spank their children. The government stays out of it. Child abuse, ie intentionally seriously hurting the child, is illegal.

[Shwaasburg]

It's not illegal, per se...

Just discouraged

and not used by anyone with an ounce of class

and really not done at all... We encourage 'talking back' as it were. We find that people that question things are often more curious and therefore more inventive. And our economy runs on inventing new technology... So, yeah.

[Fedeledland]

Spanking is illegal on Fedeledland.

[South Aropa]

Spanking and other corpral punishment is upto the discretion of the parent, Teachers are however encouraged to spank/slap unruly children and parents have no say in that matter.
