France Codifes Being Whimpering Sissified Puss-tards

FRANCE's parliament has approved a groundbreaking law that makes psychological violence an offence as part of a broader range of measures aimed at boosting protection for victims of domestic abuse.
Magistrates have criticised the bill, fearing it will be hard to define what exactly constitutes such mental abuse and say it will be very difficult to prove in court.

The law was proposed by members of parliament from both the ruling majority andADVERTISEMENTthe left-wing opposition and won the backing of the centre-right government.

"We have introduced an important measure here, which recognises psychological violence, because it isn't just blows (that hurt) but also words," Nadine Morano, the minister for family affairs, told the lower house of parliament yesterday.

Mental abuse isn't that far removed from cyber bullying.   I think that mental cruelty has long been cause for divorce in this  country, so France is just taking it one step further and making it a crime.

Already a crime here - France is following on this one.

If mental abuse is a crime, I don't see people being charged or punished because of it. Best I've seen is that some divorces use that as a reason.

 Remember the saying  " Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never harm me." ?

Some sadist had to have come up with that one.

Raise a child that is never physically harmed but told every day of their life that they are stupid and worthless.   A broken bone will heal but the mental damage stays for life.

Why do you think the pen is mightier then the sword, or that unfounded gossip can destroy carears.?

Brain washing, is more effective then physical torture.

Mess with the physical body's of humans and one has no idea how that will turn out.

Mess with their mind, emotions and beliefs and one knows full well what to expect.

Mental abuse has many forms, from the subliminal messages on billboards to intice you to suddenly need to buy a lawn mower when you have no lawn to mow to being a 55 year old man buying a thong.
