Bradford’s Anti-Smacking Bill
From the group that's "whipping up hysteria" according to Sue Bradford -
because we're presenting the Facts!!
1. No decent research shows smack by a loving parent
breeds violence
Otago
University study 2006
– children who were smacked in a
reasonable way had similar or slightly better outcomes in terms of
aggression, substance abuse, adult convictions and school achievement than
those who were not smacked at all.
Fergusson and Lynskey (Christchurch
School of Medicine)
– found no difference between no
smacking and moderate physical punishment “
It is misleading to
imply that occasional or mild physical punishment has long term adverse
consequences”
2. UNICEF reports prove there is no link
between smacking and child abuse
2003 UNICEF report on maltreatment deaths.
Of the five countries with the lowest child abuse death rates in the
UNICEF report,
four allow smacking !
Austria
banned smacking in 1989 – is the 5th highest for child abuse death rates
2007 Report released last week
: “the likelihood of a child being injured or killed is associated with
poverty, single-parenthood, low maternal education, low maternal age at
birth, poor housing, weak family ties, and parental drug or alcohol
abuse.”
The safest
country for children is
Netherlands – hasn’t banned smacking
. Of the 10 top countries, 6
haven’t banned smacking.
The 2006 CYF report “Children at Increased Risk of Death from
Maltreatment and Strategies for Prevention”
identified the factors which signaled greater risk for children
including poverty, drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence and family
breakdown. Statistics also showed that children living in households with
an adult unrelated to them were almost 50 times as likely to die of an
inflicted injury as those living with two biological parents!
Example: Just one of the real causes - Substance Abuse
UNICEF report 2003 - Child welfare professionals – 80% said “substance
abuse causes or contributes to at least half of all cases of child
maltreatment”
85% of States in US report substance abuse and poverty leading problems in
families reported for abuse
Substance abuse triples risk for child maltreatment
3. Sweden experience is a warning to us
Child abuse increased 489% in 13 years following ban - Assaults by kids
against kids increased 672%
2000 Swedish Govt report –
“we see no tendency to
a decrease in bullying at school or in leisure time during the last 20
years”
Sweden’s Foster Care rate is double NZ’s – twice as many kids being
removed from their families
European Crime and Safety – UN, Euro Commission – published this month -
Sweden has one
of the worst assault and sexual violence rates in EU
Lies.....
Around one child a month dies at the hands of a parent or
caregiver in
New Zealand. In Sweden, the average annual deaths attributable to child
abuse for the past 30 years or so has been less than one every four years.
- Document circulated on behalf of Barnadoes, Plunket, Save the Children,
Children’s Commissioner and EPOCH last year
“The rate of child
homicide & in Sweden is something like one every 4 years” -
Sue Bradford on TVNZ’s Close Up 19 July 2006
• “Dr Kiro says people need to realise since Sweden banned physical
punishment in 1976, only four children died in the following 20 years”
Children’s Commissioner speaks out against culture of violence – Press
Release - Dr Cindy Kiro - 03/11/2004
The Truth
Morgan Johansson, Swedish public health minister, said (2006)
"Every year,
eight to ten,
sometimes as many as twelve children die in Sweden due to violence. This
has been true for several years,"
4. Polls
Averaged out, polls show that 80% of us want to keep the status quo.
Politicians need to listen to the people.
5. Police won’t prosecute
Domestic Violence Policy currently being enforced by Police strongly
encourages arrest at the time and denies Police Diversion except where
authorised by the District Commander. Diversions are rarely given for
domestic violence matters. The Police Association admitted on 21 Feb, that
they will have to investigate any complaint.
As noted by Cabinet, anyone may bring a prosecution for breach of criminal
law e.g. lobby group could bring private prosecution against smack or
removal to ‘time out’ – not determined by Police
6. Are the Greens serious about stopping child abuse?
2003: P (Methamphetamine) reclassified as a Class A drug – only the Greens
opposed
2006: Opposed an increase to the Drinking Age
2005: Intentional Possession of Child Pornography (the worst of child
abuse) –Only the Greens opposed the maximum penalty being 5 years – wanted
it lower at 2 years
2007: Want to decriminalise Marijuana
SOFT ON THE
REAL CAUSES OF CHILD ABUSE YET THEY WANT TO CRIMINALISE PARENTS WHO GIVE
THEIR KIDS A SMACK
