1. Reasonable punishment is pretty much exactly what is says. It is punishment given for a crime or for discipline within reason.
2. When I was younger, a whipping was viewed as discipline, as long as it did not leave bruises or marks. If it did, it was child abuse; which is completely true. Now if you whip your child as parents did twenty years ago, it is apparently child abuse. I honestly believe that is why children today are so much more unruly than they were twenty years ago. Yes, you should discipline them, but within reason. A disciplinary whipping should never leave any kind of mark, and if you mean to teach them it never would. In this article, the father used a switch. That, I believe, was fine and wasn't child abuse as long as it didn't leave a mark.
