[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 beating your child with a belt legal in New Jersey?
obviously not Only suitable for minors?: People used to think it was necessary to "spank" adult members of the community, college students, military trainees, and prisoners. In some countries they still do. In our country, it is considered sexual battery if a person over the age of 18 is "spanked", but only if over the age of 18. For one thing, because the buttocks are so close to the anal region, sex organs, and so multiply linked to sexual nerve centers, striking them can trigger powerful and involuntary sexual stimulus in some people. There are numerous physiological ways in which it can be intentionally or unintentionally sexually abusive, but I won't list them all here. One can read the testimony, documentation, and educational resources available from the website of Parents and Teachers Against Violence In Education. Child bottom-battering vs. DISCIPLINE: Child bottom-battering (euphemistically labeled "spanking", "swatting", "switching", "smacking", "paddling", r other cute-sounding names) for the purpose of gaining compliance is nothing more than an inherited bad habit. Its a good idea for people to take a look at what they are doing, and learn how to DISCIPLINE instead of hit. There are several reasons why child bottom-battering isn't a good idea. Here are some good, quick reads recommended by professionals: Plain Talk About Spanking by Jordan Riak The Sexual Dangers of Spanking Children by Tom Johnson NO VITAL ORGANS THERE, So They Say by Lesli Taylor MD and Adah Maurer PhD Just a handful of those helping to raise awareness of why child bottom-battering isn't a good idea: American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, American Psychological Association, Center For Effective Discipline, Churches' Network For Non-Violence, Nobel Peace Prize recipient Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Parenting In Jesus' Footsteps, Global Initiative To End All Corporal Punishment of Children, United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child. In 31 nations, child corporal punishment is prohibited by law (with more in process). In fact, the US was the only UN member that did not ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The US also has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The US states with the highest crime rates and the poorest academic performance are also the ones with the highest rates of child corporal punishment. There is simply no evidence to suggest that child bottom-battering instills virtue.

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.
