Is it always 100% necessary to physically discipline a child in order to raise them properly? No, I don't think so. Everyone is different in how they respond to how they are raised and individual assessments must be made. In most cases though, I strongly believe physical discipline is both appropriate and necessary.

By law, his definition IS considered abuse. If a child knows enough to do so, they can press charges against their parent for hitting them in ANY FASHION. Violent, non-consentual physical contact between individuals is assault and battery, whether you're the child's parent or not.
Corporal punishment is only required if you are such a horrible parent that you have no other way of properly disciplining and socializing your child.
