For the sake of definition:
Corporal punishment encompasses all types of physical punishment, including spanking, slapping, pinching, pulling, twisting, and hitting with an object. It also may include forcing a child to consume unpleasant substances such as soap, hot sauce, or hot pepper.
In the United States, corporal punishment is legal on a federal level, but state laws vary on what types of physical punishments are allowed.
