Corporal punishment in family

0 Corporal punishment is a controversial way to bring up children. Parents are highly discouraged by law in hongkong but some parents still believe that only corporal punishment can correct the misbehaviour of children. It's not uncommon to see it happened. 02br

0 It seems that it is common in the world. Unfortunately in Turkey this punishment is like that. Not only parents but also teachers use this method to make children settled down.
