    YOUNG children smacked by their parents may grow up to be happier and more successful than those who have never been hit, a study has found.

    According to the research, children smacked up to the age of six were likely as teenagers to perform better at school and were more likely to carry out volunteer work and to want to go to university than their peers who had never been physically disciplined.

    Only those children who continued to be smacked into adolescence showed clear behavioural problems.

    Children’s groups and lawmakers in the UK have tried several times to have physical chastisement by parents outlawed. They claim it is a form of abuse that causes long-term harm to children and say banning it would send a clear signal that violence is unacceptable.

    However, Marjorie Gunnoe, professor of psychology at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, said her study showed there was insufficient evidence to deny parents the freedom to choose how they discipline their children.

    “The claims made for not spanking children fail to hold up. They are not consistent with the data,” said Prof Gunnoe.

    “I think of spanking as a dangerous tool, but there are times when there is a job big enough for a dangerous tool. You just don’t use it for all your jobs.”

    Research into the effects of smacking was previously hampered by the inability to find enough children who had never been smacked, given its past cultural acceptability.

    But Prof Gunnoe’s work drew on a study of 2600 people, of whom about a quarter had never been physically chastised.

    What do you expect. The poor guy was half-human raised on Vulcan to an emotionally distant father and never accepted by his peers as a child.

    i love the picture they used...looks like he's about to pimp slap that girl.

    Interesting study though and honestly, it makes sense. It's not something that should always be done but there is a time and place for everything.

    It should be. Hopefully a study like this will help prevent the passage of these ridiculous laws that prevent parents from disciplining their own children.
