- ThrowawayR2 8y ago> The US is the only country that has not signed the UN convention on childrens rights. I looked it up on Wikipedia; seems like a lot of nations don't consider it to forbid child corporal punishment. ("The Committee's interpretation of this section to encompass a prohibition on corporal punishment has been rejected by several state parties to the Convention, including Australia,[14] Canada and the United Kingdom.") > Even developing countries ban corporeal punishment. Most countries seem to forbid corporal punishment in schools, with varying levels of enforcement, but many do not forbid parental corporal punishment; China is one example, http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1083321.shtml http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1083321.shtml.
