Legal Terms – Chastisement
chastisement: the application of force as a kind of discipline. Historically, a parent or guardian has had the common-law authority to punish their children in a reasonable and moderate manner; however, the Children Act of 2004 was amended to eliminate this defense in situations where the kid suffers serious bodily harm. In the past, a parent or guardian may also give permission for someone else to chastise someone else *in loco parentis, like a school. Whether the parent agrees or not, corporal punishment is no longer permitted in public or private educational institutions. Neither a husband nor a wife has the authority to reprimand their spouse. A person may be guilty of one of the following offenses if they receive illegal reprimands.
