WA state recognizes corporal punishment by parents concerning kids. YOu can restrain, hit, "not punch, stab, or hit with an object" your child. My Daughter can not say she knows her dad hit her brother because he was on top of her brother... she couldn't see it. The police say this is how "they" know the kids are tellling the truth because most people would say they saw it because circumstantailly it makes since but not mine ... they tell the truth. Son doesn't know how his dad hit him... I know EXH did not punch him in the face... he has no bruising or broken nose.... I think his nose got bumped good in the scuffle somehow by EXH.
