Yes, it should be illegal

No, it should not be illegal

Not made illegal, but should have very clear boundaries clarified in the law

You can only vote on one answer.

It never really came up as am issue when I lived in Texas. Basically everyone believed in corporal punishment, and some even believed it should be present in school. Things are waaaaay different in Washington State (where I live now) so I'm just trying to see where people overall seem to fall, since my previous view of "basically everyone agrees with it" was clearly biased based on where I lived.

I think the father should decide

@MrsPeterEvans eh. I don't particularly agree with that one, since when I have kids they're mine just as much as they're my husband's,and it is also up to me how they are raised and punished. And if I say nobody is putting their hands on them, that inckudes my husband😂 in general I think it should come down to The parents, not the government, but the government should clarify what is or isn't abuse so you don't see as many parents taking it too far. It's a very gray area as to what is or isn't okay.
