The ban on corporal punishment of children in Sweden celebrates 30 years this year...

happy (?) children bathing.


At Children’s ombudsman’s site you can read about this ban:

“The issue of child abuse and neglect is not only relevant to changes in legislation, but also to the changes in society that have occurred, during more than twenty years of existing legislation. There are groups of children who are deprived and in vulnerable situations and families where child abuse and neglect is more or less a constant element. These kinds of families will probably occur in any society regardless of corporal punishment bans.

And that is really awful.
