<p class="text-align-justify">There are four nations in Europe that allow parents to smack their children and England is one of them. According to section 58 of the Children Act 2004, it is allowed for a caregiver or parent to slap their own kid provided "reasonable punishment" in England. Whatever punishment goes beyond what is deemed "reasonable" is, therefore, illegal. He/she might get prosecuted for the assault.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="text-align-justify">The issue is that some individuals do not understand what exactly "reasonable punishment" entails, taking into consideration the child's age and the severity of the smack. It is prohibited to hit a kid in a manner that creates injury, severe bodily harm, or child abuse. Smacking by child care workers, nursery workers, and teachers, was previously permitted but is now prohibited.</p>
