Years and years ago, my mother instituted public "shaking the child 'til blood comes out of his ears". It gets the point across without worrying observers too much. At home, slapping and punching were the first line of reponse. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=28777#post-80712 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 19:22:02 +0000 nickb 80712@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>V F, VCG.

"Like it or not, administering reasonable chastisement to offspring is legal, so our decision to create slapping and non slapping areas of the store reflects customer choice," a spokesman said.<br /> Christian group Parents and Concerned Families welcomed Asda's move. "Parents have a right to choose whether to slap their children but not everyone wants to see children being hit while they shop" said chairwoman Susan Smith.<br /> The supermarket giant says the slapping areas will be in quieter "neutral" areas of the store, where cleaning products are displayed, rather than in cereal or confectionery aisles, where family conflict can occur easily. A special logo featuring an outstretched palm and a tearful child’s face will mark which areas of the store will be slapping-friendly.<br /> One parent who preferred not to be named praised the scheme: "My mum used to belt me really hard in the Co Op bacon queue and it never did me no harm," she said. "How I choose to bring up my kids is my business. Troy, I told you. Stop making that bleeding noise or you know what you'll get."<br /> But a woman - also anonymous - in a check out queue at a Home Counties branch of Waitrose was critical of the idea. “We don’t want to hear screaming and yelling while we do our shop. We send our children to independent boarding schools where they can be abused by professionals in an educational setting, away from the public gaze ” </p>
