Define Corporal punishment... A slap on the legs..? or a punch in the face..? or is mental torture worse..?

[Lakitu]

OK LOL.

Yes, it's banned, but personally, I don't think a smacked bum is out of line under certain circumstances.

I got a hiding from my parents and I've not turned out too bad for it.

the words 'corporal punishment' just sounds harsher than a smacked bottie

Found this - which I think is a bit extreme to use on kids...!!
