It is up to the parent(s) or caregiver to decide whether the use of corporal punishment is appropriate. Further parent(s) or caregivers are left to determine how to administer the punishment and to what degree. Under these circumstances it is not surprising that some cases cross the very thin line between discipline and abuse. In no other form of power differential relationships is the use of physical violence acceptable from a societal
