Issue #4 Can your parents discipline you however they see fit?

Sadly, the law does not protect children from their own parents. "The U.S Constitution doesn't require states to protect the life, liberty, and property of its citizens from the acts by private individuals." The judge in the case of state v. Arnold said that, "parents right to discipline his or her child 'clearly has his limits.' When they're exceeded, the parent may be criminally liable." The question that we now have to answer is: what is the 'limit" on disciplining a child?
