Best Answer

In the UK, you are allowed to strike your children as long as it doesn't leave a mark or a bruise. If it does, then the person who hits the child can be charged with assault.

This does not necessarily mean you should hit your child anytime you would like or if your child misbehaves then hit your child uncontrollably as long as he or she has no marks. An adult should restrain from hitting or other physical violence because it may lead to other problems. An intelligent adult who is in control uses other methods of discipline such as grounding or taking away a toy or privilege.

The bottom line on whether it is allowed is that it depends on the civil law in your jurisdiction. In many it is against the law.
