Physical punishment cannot be used on a child who is unable to learn from the situation because of a disability or some other factor.

Is it against the law to hit your kid. Last week Welsh parliament passed legislation to make it illegal to smack children. It is illegal for teachers nursery workers and workers in other education settings to hit children in their care ever. There is no federal law generally governing how parents must conduct themselves with regard to their children which leaves most of the legal guidance on striking your kids with the states.

Advocates for the move called it long overdue and celebrated that children now have the same legal protections against assault as adults. Parents can only gently spank their children and cannot strike kick burn cut or shake them. How to control ones angry impulses swat control is one of the things you are trying to teach your children.

It is illegal for a privately employed babysitter or nanny to smack a child in their care unless the parent has given specific permission. Any use of force on a child cannot be degrading inhumane or result in harm or the prospect of harm. However the line between parenting and child abuse is not always that clear.

You do not have to put up with child abuse. It is against the law for a parent or carer to smack their child except where this amounts to reasonable punishment. Physical punishment shows that its all right to vent your anger or right a wrong by hitting other people.

But theres evidence it shouldnt be. Spanking opponents may not see the disciplinary act as any different than slapping your child. It is never okay for an adult to sexually abuse a child provide a child with illegal drugs or to burn or choke a child.

It is lawful for a parent or a person in the place of a parent. So it isnt technically illegal to hit your kid in any state. Criminal Code Act 1924.
