[QUOTE="Samantha36, post: 35251, member: 3638"] Hi I just wanted to say that I had exactly the same issue as you. My son is 11 and has ODD/ADHD. My ex husband and I have joint custody on a weekly rotating basis which worked just fine and suited our son, however, as he grew older, my ex found it increasingly difficult to cope with some of Lew's behaviour and began smacking as a form of discipline. I am totally against smacking as I cannot see how using a form of violence against a child with enough problems, is going to teach them how to develop self control when the parent is not showing it.I raised my concerns via letter to my ex on a number of occasions, at our meeting with lew's psychiatrist and eventually with social services when he finally went too far and used a trainer on lew's bare bottom. My ex now has a caution on his record for actual bodily harm and this is deemed to be a category one offence...sadly for him, he is a lawyer who works within the public sector so it has made him learn a harsh lesson. I would not let your ex use smacking with a belt to go on Im afraid as one day your child may turn to you and ask you why you didnt put a stop to it. Good luck x [/QUOTE]
