if it is only disciplinary no, i don't think so( just dont do it too much). you have freedom to parent withing reason.

Others may disagree. Perhaps the best course of action would be to consult your local Children's Aid.
Child abuse is a epedemic
The physical striking of a child can be considered abuse. Ignoring a child is neglect, but if the child comes to harm while being ignored that can be considered abuse.
yes child abuse is common but sometimes it's a child lying and making a false accusation, sadly=(
if it is diciplenary by the child's parents yes(like spanking), but if it is parental abuse or abuse from any other person it is considered child abuse
Yes it could.
abuse the child mentally or physically
Yes.
Yes, it is. Slapping your child is physically abusing them.
false
If a child has been left with no money, inadequate food, no shelter, and no clothing; this is considered child abandonment. In Georgia, the state can take the child away because this is considered abuse.
Florida restricts all spanking as child abuse. Florida law states that any act that can physically or mentally hurt a child is considered child abuse and you can be charged with a felony for it.
Difficult to answer simply. No, not in a legal sense. Attempted murder is a completely different offence. Of course the attempted murder of a child IS abuse but the charge is different, it may also be an additional charge. Being charged with child abuse is not the same as being charged with the attempted murder of a child.
