Of child abuse...should be forced to undergo sterilisation...a formar ombudsman said. I just read this on a news website today! This person think that parents who have a tendency to be abusive towards they children...should be sterilised! this person think [ and he is right] children should be care for and bring them up with love, shelter and responsability[which is all good] but sterilisation? what do you think? is not that a bit harsh?

That sounds frightening similar to how Hitler started his policies. It STARTS with a "justified" sterilization (though in this case it's not even justified; who are you to say what a person will or will not do to the children they don't even have yet??) but then it moves to an annihilation of everyone different or against a select group's view of the norm. The world's been through one Nazi regime, it's time we learned from it, even in the subtler aspects.

As long as we have the Nazis' example so fresh in our minds, hopefully no law like that will pass. Thanks for BR.

NO!!!n Under no law or right do they have to do this!! I was an abused child, so was my brother! We felt when we were younger that we wanted a better life for our families than we ever had. That our children were not going to go through what we did. If there is a bone left in my body I will fight for the rights of an abused person. Be it a child, a woman, or a man.
I have never ever abused my children, husband, grandchildren or anyone or anything.
Just because some people have turned out to be abusers does not mean we all will!!!!
That is stereotyping everyone because of what a few do.
I say if a person is an abuser then they can have something done to them to stop the abuse. But being sterile will not stop abusers if they are abusers from abusing some one!

Oh my yes, I do agree. That's the least they could do. They seriously need counseling.

I think it is a little bit harsh to punish child abuser for such penalty. As parents we know that children need parental love and care and there is nowhere we will abuse our own children. Only those who are mentally unsound abuse their own children and they should not be allowed to have children living with them if they are known cases that they abuse their kids. Just send them to rehab centers or religious center to temporarily detach them with their children. They might recover and be good parents once more.

It is a bit harsh.But at the same time i wouldn't want a child to be the victim of such abusive parents.I would say such people have to be counselled and given treatment and educated on how to bring up a child.With more information and knowledge at their grasp these parents could learn to treat their young ones better.
