..zanimljivo je da je u većini zemalja svijeta fizičko kažnjavanje djece kod kuće i u školi dozvoljeno...Evropa prednjači po broju zemalja koje su zabranile fizičko kažnjavanje djece na oba mjesta, ali da li postoji djete koje nije nikad osjetilo ruku roditelja pitanje je..kod nas je zabranjeno fizičko kažnjavanje djece u školama ali ne i kod kuće....
..evo nekih podataka..zanimljivih za raspravljanje

Where corporal punishment in the home is lawful
Australia
In Australia, corporal punishment of children in the home is not unlawful in any of the States and Territories,provided it is "reasonable". Parents who act unreasonably may be committing an assault. The Australian state of Tasmania is continuing to review the state's laws on the matter, and may seek to ban the use of corporal punishment by parents. The matter is also under review in other Australian states. A 2002 public opinion survey suggested the majority view was in support of retaining parents' right to smack with the open hand but not with an implement.
Canada
In Canada, parents may spank their children, but there are several restrictions.
In Canadian Foundation for Children, Youth and the Law v. Canada (2004) the Supreme Court upheld, in a 6-3 decision, the use of "reasonable" force to discipline children, rejecting claims that moderate spanking violated children's rights. However, it stipulated that the person administering the punishment must be a parent or legal guardian, and not a school teacher or other person; that the force must be used "by way of correction" (sober, reasoned uses of force that address the actual behaviour of the child and are designed to restrain, control or express some symbolic disapproval of his or her behaviour), that the child must be capable of benefiting from the correction (i.e. not under the age of 2 or over 12, etc.), and that the use of force must be "reasonable under the circumstances", meaning that it results neither in harm nor in the prospect of bodily harm. Punishment involving slaps or blows to the head is harmful, the Court held.
United Kingdom
In the U.K. spanking is legal, but it may not leave a mark on the body. The total abolition of corporal punishment has been discussed. In a 2004 survey, 71% of the population would support a ban on parents smacking their children.[15] In a 2006 survey, 80% of the population said they believed in smacking, and 73% said that they believed that any ban would cause a sharp deterioration in children's behaviour. Seven out of ten parents said they themselves use corporal punishment.
United States
Despite some opposition to corporal punishment in the United States, the spanking of children is legal in all states.Bans have been proposed in Massachusetts and California on all corporal punishment of children, including by parents, but these moves were heavily defeated.
