What is the law in Michigan in regards to spanking children or smacking them in the face if not abusive?
Specifically no. But, it could be.The definition of child abuse in the state of Michigan is a bit vague and open to interpretation.From the Child Protection Law, Act 238 of 1975:"'Child abuse' means harm or threatened harm to a child's health or welfare that occurs through nonaccidental physical or mental injury, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, or maltreatment, by a parent, a legal guardian, or any other person responsible for the child's health or welfare or by a teacher, a teacher's aide, or a member of the clergy."By extension, the punitive action permissible under Michigan Penal Code can be found at The Michigan Penal Code, Act 328 of 1931, MCL 750.135.
Are you allowed to smack your kid?
Yes and no, there are some countries where it is not allowed at all and others where there is no law to cover it. Developed countries generally don't allow it however it also depends on the nature of the smack. Some would consider a small tap to the hand or leg as a reprimand that is entirely acceptable but others consider any form of hitting a child to be wrong. I think the middle ground is best as children do need discipline as well as love and understanding. NO! that is your child! you smack your child...then it will do the same to their children. if its naughty...tell it off....DO NOT smack.

Because if the child has done something wrong then the parents smack them but I think that it should not be above the waste of a child.it is wrong to manipulate a child for punishment. BUT, there is more ways to punish the child. I guess that they goose the one that has been proven to work.
