How many more children like Sara Sharif will be killed before smacking is banned? | Catherine Bennett

Summary

BBC has been adding content warnings to reports about Sara Sharif , the 10-year-old girl who allegedly died at the hands of her father, stepmother and uncle, after two years of abuse.

Children are still denied, in England and Northern Ireland , the legal protection that adults have against physical punishment.

Scotland ended confusion by outlawing physical punishment of children in 2020 .

Even some clinicians rejected the moral imperative to protect the defenceless 20 years ago .

In 2004 , an amendment tabled by a Labour MP, David Hinchliffe , to give children the same legal protection as adults was supported by every significant UK child protection agency.

Now Labour has neglected, like the Tories , to promise this simple reform.
