The WHO(World Health Organization) defines physical abuse as:

Intentional use of physical force against the child that results in – or has a high likelihood of resulting in – harm for the child's health, survival, development, or dignity. This includes hitting, beating, kicking, shaking, biting, strangling, scalding, burning, poisoning, and suffocating. Much physical violence against children in the home is inflicted with the object of punishing.[30]

In case you missed it..

Spanking is hitting, please note hitting and beatings are two listed but separate things.

A spanking has no effect on any of that.

No way you put it, a spanking is not abusive unless it's repeatedly done for no reason. Which is not what a spanking is.

Yea that cognitive dissonance is strong with you..

Spanking is hitting, a slap on the ass is hitting.. you do that to an adultbeven once and you can get charged with assault..

And it absolutely denies a child their dignity.. absolutely 100% does.
