Any kind of violence against a child is wrong.

Frankly, if you use any kind of physical punishment against a child, you're a monster. If you resort to any kind of aggression (such as shouting), you're probably a bad parent.

Once it gets to teenage years, things are different. But children are a no-go.


I reckon a slap is ok, with your palm. Punching, repeat slapping or whipping should be illegal everywhere. 

She is a terrible parent though.
