The above perhaps only the latest in "child abuse" court cases to try (religious?) people exercising what they believe is their divinely ordered right.
How many here believe that corporal punishment is a God given right and you therefore are prepared to be a felon or lose children should you get reported?
Or, has the legal landscape and popular culture caused you to rethink your traditional discipline techniques, and you've found other effective ways?
By law you can swat a child on the buttocks or upper legs with an open hand. You cannot leave a mark and are never allowed to slap a child in the face.

The law varies from state to state, though, doesn't it?

I completely disagree. You can have authority over a child without hitting them. It may require more work, but it can be done.
This case has nothing to do with religion, it is about a parent spanking a child with a paddle and leaving bruises.
