Law / Polish law on child smacking now vs. pre 2010 [7]

I understand the law in Poland changed in August 2010 and smacking of children is now prohibited.

I need to know if it was legal to use a belt on a child aged 5 in 2009? It would be useful if someone could point me in the direction of the appropriate legal artilcles if they exist. I have read a translated version of the Family and Guardianship code from 1965 but I cannot believe this was current up until 2010, regarding child welfare. I don't speak Polish but my partner does.

Law / British married to a Polish woman and they have a son. Son's British Passport? [65]

OH... of course with the constitution guaranteeing freedom of speech for the world's benefit....

I have to agree with this conclusion. The Family and Gaurdianship Code from 1965 is appalling to western thinking. Polands adoption of European friendly laws appear to be overidden by this document. How many procecutions are there for beating children are there in Poland annualy? It appears from the FGC it is appropiate to beat your children with anything that comes to hand as it is good for them. It also appears this document takes precedence over modern law.

Currently my Polish partner and I are experiencing the delights of the judicial system. My partners children were wrongfully retained by her husband on a contact visit. Not only were they retained but they were drugged and her son was nearly suffocated. It was only by luck he never became one of the many child killed by parent statistics Poland is generating at the moment. We presented documents to the court from a psychologist who interviewed the boy along with countless other information only to have back from the court "I have looked at the documents, but I'm not doing anything!". By chance we recovered the boy 5 days after the abduction but the daughter remains with a psycho who spends his day telling her "we must kill mummy", "Mummy doesn't love you. She didn't give me some of your birthday cake", "look how can your mummy love you. What has she done to me" We know because we have the flat bugged.

There is NO Law to PROTECT children in Poland. There is only Law to FORCE people to stay together. My partner and her son have escaped their beatings, hopefully the HC will work for her 4 yr old daughter. Sadly I have my doubts as 9 days ago we started a 7 day process to allow my partner access to her daughter at weekends and my partner is now being told, she has made trouble for herself in court, and of course we have no answer. The court even told her yesterday "off the record" that if she wants her daughter back, move back to Poland.

In my opinion her children will always be Polish in whatever country they live, and by living and experiencing another country, maybe one day they will go back and make Poland a better place. Try telling a Pole that!!
