Spare The Rod And Spoil The Child?

Is the old saying true, or is it always wrong to hit children?

To spank or not to spank - does smacking children lead to better behaviour, or should it be taboo? A child psychiatrist from India and Kenyan academic and writer debate the topic.

Also on the programme: The mothers in India desperate to stop their daughters following them into prostitution in India.
