Smacking: Scotland becomes first UK country to make smacking children illegal

Smacking children has been made illegal in Scotland.

It's the first country in the UK to make it against the law.

The new law has been brought in by Members of Scottish Parliament (MSPs) during a vote in the Scottish Parliament.

Scottish politicians said they wanted give children the same protection as adults.

Now, physical attacks on both adults and children will be treated as a criminal offence - assault.
