God, I've come to this topic late, and read every post.
Is it right to slap/hit a minor?
NO.
but ask yourself;
Is it right to mentally abuse them instead?
Mental abuse is what does the real damage in relationships, not physical abuse in general, although it is true that children die regularliy from physical abuse, yes you read that right DIE REGULARILY, in Britain alone, it is severe and prollonged mental abuse which turns normally 'normal' kids into social missfits.
I realise that this post may be taking the subject beyind its original remit, but abuse in all its forms is a bigger issue in general than the physical element alone.
