Its so fucked up, and notice how the child in the picture is like four. They could hit kids at some schools in my district, but your parents had to sign a permission form.

The first time a child is physically struck by an adult (especially a parent), part of that kids childish innocence dies. Instantly. Instead of looking like , the kid walks around like .
The child is taught that violence is an acceptable way to handle your problems and these kids are astronomically more likely to go to prison or commit violent acts.

Anyone who beats, spanks*, slaps, etc., should be charged with felony child abuse, because thats what it is.

*Spanking is just a word that parents with a guilty conscience say because it feels dirty when they said, I beat the kids today.

The absolute worst is that it somehow creates this thing where the victim grows up thinking he/she wasnt abused.
