The U.K.'s Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) has backed a total ban on smacking children. Currently, it is totally illegal in Scotland and Wales, but unlawful in England and Northern Ireland except in cases where it amounts to a "reasonable punishment" — a distinction the RCPCH says shouldn't exist.
