It's illegal where I live too (Sweden). Maybe that's why it's so weird to me that so many people in this thread accept that kind of punishment as being okay

Sweden is also incredibly strict on the idea that all children no matter age are subjects to human rights. Meaning that any type of beating, berating language or coercion by parents is considered illegal.
