I'm sort of curious if there's anyone that was abused that weren't told that it was their parent's right to discipline them however they saw fit. I certainly heard it, and everyone I know that's acknowledged they were physically abused as a child heard it when they tried to get help. Help that never came for anyone I know because a parent should be allowed to discipline their child however they see fit.
