Two wrongs don’t make a right

There is no ‘I am wrong but…’. And this is what I want to say to that mother of a student of St Angela’s Primary School who attacked a teacher recently and ended up standing in the school yard topless.

This column is about the chronicles of women in everyday life and I just felt the need to comment on the issue that has been ‘lighting up’ the local social media space.

Now before you get me wrong let me just make it clear I don’t agree with corporal punishment as a matter of fact I abhor it. I have two children and I have always made it clear that under no circumstance I want anyone to administer lashes to my children. My stance has seen some being upset with me and in instances where this may have done ‘livid’ and ‘seeing red’ do not cut how I felt.
