However I completely agree with spanking children on their behind when they misbehave.

Is it illegal to hit someone else's child. As long as the behavior is not harmful in some way you should consider ignoring it. The act of hitting someone else with a belt hand or other instrument is frowned upon and only allowed in limited circumstances. No one has any right to say anything to.

Its disciplinary and his right as a parent. You could be prosecuted. The trouble is reasonable punishment isnt really defined in the legislation meaning the decision about whether a smack is reasonable or not depends on the individual circumstances of each punishment.

By Tash Bell 8 July 2017 700am. Children are protected by Australian law from abuse or violence. As the law stands in England Wales or Northern Ireland right now its illegal for a parent to smack their own child except where the smacking is reasonable punishment.

In countries where smacking has been banned levels of child abuse have also been found to drop. That means were behind more than 50 other countries in the world on this topic. They say it is counter-intuitive and inconsistent that smacking children a vulnerable group within society is the only time when it is legal to hit another person.

Striking your child with an object a fist or another part of your body. Depending on the parents and how far they deem reasonable to take the matter. Elaine believes it is not OK to threaten berate criticise or hit anyone elses child or indeed.
