Petition Make spanking children (corporal punishment) illegal.

If we hit an adult is considered assault, if we hit an animal is cruelty but if we hit a child, it's perfectly fine as long as we don't leave marks.
Spanking has been banned in videos because it promotes violence but it is legal to spank the most vulnerable people.
