corporal punishment and the guardianWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California Is corporal punishment Legal? Is corporal punishment Transferable to person to person by parents concent? if proper corporal punishment is done on a child without permission, such as grandparents or close friends of the family, can a child call the police and have them arrested or would the parents have to be the one to press charges? More in dept detail would be great! |

The parent is free to call the police, but as long as there was no serious or visible injury, and there was some justification for the infliction of the pain, chances are that no arrest will be made. In most instances, a report would be generated and a copy forwarded to CPS, but it would be rare that a person would be arrested except in the most egregious cases. Perhaps you'd care to post what happened rather than compel us to post the onerous number of code sections that MIGHT apply under certain situations. - Carl

| Nothing has happened with me Personally, A friend and I were discussing it after he brought up the fact like a year back after his little brother calmed the baby sitter spanked him for refusing to obey, The Cops then proceeded to come over and tell the baby sitter that she could be arrested for abuse. My question is, do the parents have to press charges for that to happen in a case that she did not have permission(In his case she did) but it leaves me to question what if she didn't, Does the officer have proper standing to make a arrest??? I mean these are under the terms of proper corporal punishment not abuse, No marks are left and it was on the bottom cheeks  |

A spanking is generally considered fine and dandy so long as it does not leave lasting marks or welts (beyond short term redness). I wonder if something was a little more out of hand then your friend believed. Most cops are big supporters of corporal punishment and we almost universally side with the caregiver in such a situation. Now, they MIGHT have told the sitter that she might want to be careful because, as she is not the parent, she could find herself in trouble - particularly if the parents took exception to the discipline. - Carl

| We get a couple of those every week ... a five year old out of control, or a request for an officer to come over and scold a child. I guess to some people we're dial-a-parent! - Carl

That or the boogiecop. Parents wanting officers to scare their child into being good. Of course when those children need an officer to help them in a real crisis they are going to be to afraid of that meanie boogiecop to go to the officers who can help them. The fact that we had to send officers out to those calls just burned us up. Waste of time and resources. The best one I got was "help! my 6 year old is beating me up! Send an officer quick! I got a lil scold from my supervisor for saying. " Whose bigger!"
