Smacking has been associated with increased aggression, antisocial behaviour, depressive symptoms and anxiety in children. It also carries an increased risk of escalation into more severe abuse. It already illegal in Scotland and the law is changing in wales in March. I believe that the law should be changed in England for the safety and well-being of children.
