Look over this list of unacceptable parental discipline in Arkansas and see if any of it seems...odd.
http://www.stoparchildabuse.com/discipline.htmWhen we were kids, kids occasionally got slapped by their parents for talking back, using foul language, biting, spitting, or other offenses involving the inappropriate use of the mouth. According to the state of Arkansas, that's child abuse. Pinching or biting a child is not abusive, but a light slap on the face would be. Does anybody else see that as out of touch?
