Spoil the child?
As a 9-year-old, she watched in fear as her sister was beaten by
her parents with a wooden spoon. She wanted to call the police.

at 15, living on the streets, to teenage pregnancy. Could the
problems be sheeted back to a culture of smacking? Sunday also

hand and thrived. Who's right, who's wrong? To smack or not to
smack?

trigger our cravings - making it one of the greatest public health
issues of our time.
