Can you hit your child?
If you hit your child you totally lost the trust and relationship with your child. NO! do not hit your child ever..... i dont want to say you can't hit your child but i deffinitly dont want you to think it is okay to hit your child. hitting your child is basically child abuse and child abuse can cause worst case senareo that your child is taken and put into foster care. also, you would go to court and could be sent to jail deppending on the level you abused them.Another View: Much depends on what the questioner means by "hitting" your child.Some the above answer can be true - especially the part about discipline turning into abuse. There is a line between 'spanking' and abuse.HOWEVER - legally speaking (in the US) the laws of many (all?) states do not prohibit spanking (i.e.: corporal punishment) per se UNLESS it becomes EXCESSIVE. The parental option of being able to choose the level of punishment they apply is generally left to them alone and the government steps in only if/when the punishment becomes excessive.See below links:
Can you hit someone if they anger you?
If the person physically assaulted you (Like they hit you first or threatened you physically) you can hit them in self defense. But if some annoying kid won't go away but the worst he's doing is whining, hitting him would qualify as assault and you could get in big trouble. If you are a minor I don't think you can get locked up or anything, but if you aren't a minor, and the kid is a minor, that's child abuse...
