Absolutely not! You are legally bound to discipline your child, not abuse them.
how is a smack on the bottom abuse! abuse is when you actually use violence etc a smack is a correction procedure me and my brothers were smacked as children if we were naughty and my kids get the same if they are naughty aswell.
In New York the law reads
§ 35.10 Justification; use of physical force generally.
The use of physical force upon another person which would otherwise
constitute an offense is justifiable and not criminal under any of the
following circumstances:
1. A parent, guardian or other person entrusted with the care and
supervision of a person under the age of twenty-one or an incompetent
person, and a teacher or other person entrusted with the care and
supervision of a person under the age of twenty-one for a special
purpose, may use physical force, but not deadly physical force, upon
such person when and to the extent that he reasonably believes it
necessary to maintain discipline or to promote the welfare of such
person.
You shouldn't be slapping your child's face anywhere!
Another View: The question is MUCH TOO GENERAL to be answered with a specific yes or no answer.
(1) What are the prevailing circumstances?
(2) How old is the "child?"
(3) There is slapping, and then there is "slapping."
You could well be prosecuted if you repeatedly struck a child with the distinct possibility of causing physical harm.
HOWEVER - the laws intent is not to restrict or deny the parents prerogative or authority to discipline their offspring, either. Slapping a "potty-mouthed" 6-year old for a nasty remark in the supermarket may not be pleasant to see, but it must be left up to the parent to decide when, and under what circumstances, the discipline is applied.
On the other hand; if the parent is seen to be losing control, or clearly becomes abusive toward the child, THEN the law can be called in.
Corporal punishment of minors within domestic settings is lawful in all 50 of the United States and, according to a 2000 survey, is widely approved by parents.

Can a parent legally kick-out their 17 year old in Michigan ?
No parent is going to consent to their child smoking - if they did then they should have their children taken off them as clearly they are terrible parents. It is illegal for anyone to sell cigarettes to someone under 18 years old, there is no law against smoking.
No, it's called good parenting. Knowing what your child is up to can prevent a lot of problems later on. newtest3 Not necessarily good parenting because it causes relationship problems between parent and child, but is helpful in some serious situations. Still, it is not illegal for PARENT'S to invade your privacy. When you are 18, feel free to do whatever you want. Until then... obey your parents.

Illegal to date, no but it is illegal to have sex unless the minor is 16yo which is the age of consent in SC. It is also illegal marry without parent's/ guardian's approval until 18.
Yes
Yes, if the state require consent from the legal guardian since the non-custodial parent is not the legal guardian. And yes, because the non-custoduial parent does not have the legal right to make that kind of decision for the child. The non-custodial parent could face sanctions from the court. The custodial parent could sue to have the non-custodial parent pay to have the tattoo removed.
Dating is not illegal. Having Sex is illegal. That relationship will never work in the long run
If the parent you are leaving was assigned by a judge to take care of you then yes. If not and both parents are assigned to take care of you, you are free to go.
