Abuse is not about physical pain. It is the oppression one is put under mentally. I understand that and to compare a smack on the leg as mentally damaging because a child didn't get a toy is in no way similar and it is disgusting to say that one could be as damaged as children who go through real abuse.

Okay but that's your view. I find all forms of this terrible. I understand what you're saying but I agree with what Scott said, i just dont think any form of hitting kids is good, wether it be a smack or worse.
