UNICEF Snoot: Spare the Rod. Just cuz we say so.
You shouldn't spank your kids, UNICEF chief says
That's the view of UNICEF Canada President Nigel Fisher.
And he's an expert on, um, stuff.
He says the Criminal Code should be amended to bar spanking, saying no violence should be allowed against children.
I wuz spanked when I was little. For nothing! It was only a garage, sheesh. And the cars. And the boat. But insurance covered it! Mostly. I'm scarred, scarred forever!
He was attending a forum in Vancouver where UNICEF International released a new report on violence against children around the world.
And spanking is just as bad as child prostitution, forced labor, and slavery! Mebbe worser!
He says most of the violence children experience is at the hands of adults they trust, including at school and home.
Well okaaaay then. Now we know. What this pontificating gomer thinks.
