Is it illegal to spank your child in KY?

See law below:"Parent/guardian/person/teacher with care and supervision of minor can use force if person believes force necessary for welfare of child and force is not designed to cause or known to cause a substantial risk of causing death, serious physical injury, disfigurement, extreme pain, or extreme mental distress.§ 503.110. [Criminal Code]"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.

Is leaving belt marks abuse?

Legally it is child abuse. Spanking is legal but not so severe you are leaving marks. The most common problem with corporal punishment is a punisher who is expressing their own anger. Spanking should be used only for certain situations. If you cannot administer an appropriate spanking because of your anger then don't. Put them in a corner, send them to their room until you have it together. Then remind them of what boundary they crossed and that the consequence is a spanking. Then do so with a cool head.
