OTTAWA, Feb 22 (Lifesitenews.com) A coalition of pro-family groups has risen to the challenge of defending a parent’s right to use corrective physical discipline with their children. The Canada Family Action Coalition, Focus on the Family (Canada) Association, the Home School Legal Defence Association of Canada, and REAL Women of Canada have teamed up to form the Coalition for Family Autonomy and have been granted intervenor status in an Ontario court case challenging parent’s rights.
A federal government funded group calling itself the Canadian Foundation for Children, Youth and the Law is asking the court to declare Section 43 of the Criminal Code (which permits “reasonable force” in disciplining children) unconstitutional.
