In the U.S., the government so entrenched much in the family nucleus the parenting is no longer seems to be necessary. Little girls no longer need parental consent or even in form the parent (the mother since it is only a woman?s right) to have an abortion. However, the parents (BOTH) are immediately informed and need to become involve if there are complications with the abortion. If there is any kind of corporal punishment involved in disciplining a child, the parent incarcerated for assault however, the same infraction done outside house might give cause for a police officer to beat or sometimes-deadly force is used with impunity. Weird---yes? What are the laws governing parenting and corporal punishment here?
