As a slight addendum to above post ... my daughter and I were walking through a precinct and there was a man literally roaring like a banshee and battering his child's pram and I immediately went to confront him and my daughter held me back ... he was a 'known' junkie and she was frightened for my welfare , not the child's and she said cctv will have picked it up . To this day I regret not going to help . It was in a thoroughfare , how sad is that ? I'm for the smacking ban , not for the tapping , huge difference .
