It's bullying in an extreme form. Children are vulnerable and therefore easy targets.

As an adult dealing with people (both adults and children), we stress that verbal conflict resolution is the way to go over physical resolution. It is a crime to hit someone. There will be formal consequences.

Then some parents go home and whack their kids. It's beyond my understanding.

Ooops, musn't turn this into another pro/anti smacking thread without Baedebok ;)
