This means as long as no Physical harm comes to the child then it is legal to spank, or punish. even with a belt. it is in many debates as to weather anything other than a hand is abuse, and in many cases it is not as some mothers use a belt on the butt because a growing Boy will be much more tollerant of a smack from a hand and it may actually injure the mother as the butt is alot more resiliant than a hand. and any harm from a belt will pass in a considerable short moment. however any use of any object to any other part of the body can cause more harm and is considered to be casue of great harm to the childs life, and is illegal.
