The law against parents hitting their kids might not have effects in Fraiburgo. The reason? Over there, the Portuguese word (palmadas) used for this law does not exist or at least nobody has ever used in Fraiburgo. Below is a realtime dicussion on facebook with other local expressions used for parents when the kids are getting spoilt. Needless to say that we are not motivating violence, the point of discussion is why Brazil is discussing this law? Don’t we have other priorities? Still many people are thankful they parents like me for defining my limits in the course of my childhood.
