As an African, no one will ever support a child to sue his or her parents.
In our modern world however, certain things have changed. The child is protected by the law. Such law as against beating, spanking, corporal punishment.
The statement:
Spare the rod, spoil the child.
Has landed a lot of parents in the police custody.
Cruelty on children is not handled with levity by the law enforcement agencies.
Parents should apply love when disciplining their wards, anything below that could be detrimental
Its ok friend and thanks for the input
