Anxioussenior1, you seem a bit uninformed about children, adjustment and, well, a lot. I hope you are not considering law school as your logic is very flawed. I’d worry about anyone you represented. Let’s start at the beginning. When parents hit their children they are hurting their children physically. A punch from an adult hurts. Being hit with a strap hurts. When adults do things that are wrong, they are not hit. They are not punished physically. We no longer tar and feather people. We don’t strap them to a pole in the center of town. We don’t put them in stockades. Adults who violate minor rules are not hit with a belt. Why would you think it is ok for parents to hurt their children physically when no adult would allow it? When is it ok for a 200 lbs person to hit a 25 lbs person? These physical assaults hurt whether they leave a mark or not. The fact that someone can still function does not negate the fact that physical assaults hurt the people being assaulted. It is not ok to assault a young person even if that person ends up not suffering from depression or anxiety. It is simply not ok. It is assault. Assault is not ok. Hopefully immigrants from countries where that is ok don’t bring those ideas to the US or don’t come to the US at all! The idea that assaulting a little child is ok is back woods, backwards and ignorant.
