Thank you @OJEN_ROEJ for hosting such an engaging online debate! We had a great time discussing this important topic with other schools during #OJENTMFall21. Looking forward to the next one!

[Vic @Vic_Fent0n]

@BVG_LawClub @OJEN_ROEJ Yes. And to add, corporal punishment causes increased violence among youth as they see it as normal and okay whereas children without the involvment of corporal punishment don’t associate with violence. #OJENTMFall21

@ActonThatSpeak @OJEN_ROEJ [2] Furthermore, if you read the article we linked, you would know that methods such as justice reinvestment and restorative justice are data-proven effective approaches in correcting criminal behaviour. @OJEN_ROEJ #OJENTMFall21

[BVG Law Club @BVG_LawClub]

@ActonThatSpeak @OJEN_ROEJ [1] Research has proven repeatedly that punishment, whether corporal or imprisonment, aren't the most effective means of improving behaviour. Punishment is not the answer. @OJEN_ROEJ #OJENTMFall21

Research reveals that children subjected to corporal punishment are more likely to develop mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, and personality disorders. Due to its association with mental disorders, corporal punishment should be banned. @OJEN_ROEJ #OJENTMFall21

Some believe corporal punishment can help children obey actions and deter them from bad behavior; however, research shows corporal punishment inflicts the opposite effect and instead make children more rebellious. @OJEN_ROEJ #OJENTMFall21

[BVG Law Club @BVG_LawClub]

Section 43 of the Criminal Code is unconstitutionally vague as the definition and application of "reasonable force" varies from parent to parent, child to child, and judge to judge. Thus, section 43 violates the security of children. @OJEN_ROEJ #OJENTMFall21

[BVG Law Club @BVG_LawClub]

@sdcilaw @OJEN_ROEJ Agreed! An adult should only take physical control of a child to protect themselves, the child, or those around them, not to supposedly correct behaviour or discipline them. @OJEN_ROEJ #OJENTMFall21

[SDCI Law @sdcilaw]

@OJEN_ROEJ more minor incidents using force as this creates a bad cycle of violence in our society.

[SDCI Law @sdcilaw]

@OJEN_ROEJ Force should be allowed in the case of self-defense of the adult, rather than for correction of the child. This is especially important for teachers as they should be allowed to defend themselves against potentially dangerous situations, but should not be allowed to discipline

The hand of a much larger and stronger adult should not be used to punish a child. A child does not learn anything from being hit, except to fear the adult parents/guardians. @OJEN_ROEJ #OJENTMFall21

[BVG Law Club @BVG_LawClub]

@naeemadeeba1 @OJEN_ROEJ @ActonThatSpeak There is no "safe" way to hit a child, hitting a child means HITTING a child. Additionally, the term "hit safely" is very subjective. Some parents' form of hitting "safely" could involve causing major damage to the child. @OJEN_ROEJ #OJENTMFall21

@ActonThatSpeak @OJEN_ROEJ the way they are being punished (aside from the mere fact that they were punished), it may be time to reconsider that parenting strategy. (2/2)

[BVG Law Club @BVG_LawClub]

@ActonThatSpeak @OJEN_ROEJ The response for spanking and other forms of child abuse doesn't have to be on the same level. However, in either case, you are laying your hands on a child with the intent of harming them physically. And if a child's mental health is affected by... (1/2)

[BVG Law Club @BVG_LawClub]

@ActonsThatSpeak @OJEN_ROEJ Corporal punishment doesn't actually teach children about more appropriate and desired behaviours; instead, it teaches children to solve problems through violence. In no way does this prepare children for the "real world." @OJEN_ROEJ #OJENTMFall21

[BVG Law Club @BVG_LawClub]

@ActonThatSpeak @OJEN_ROEJ [4] This again illustrates our argument that punishment, corporal or imprisonment does more harm than good, and thus should be outlawed. Source: https://t.co/fJjzWIXtFc #OJENTMFall21 @OJEN_ROEJ
