Ban physical discipline/punishment of children

I want the Government to ban the use of physical discipline/punishment by parents or carers in all cases. We believe it causes children to be scared of their parents who use it. We think some children won't speak up if the physical discipline/punishment is leaving lasting effects.

We think children want to ban to the use of physical discipline/punishment because it causes damage to the relationship between the parents and the children.
