If I minorly bruise my child by a spanking, what would MY punishments be if my child told somebody?

It is not appropriate to physically discipline a child, as it can harm their physical and psychological well-being. It is important to understand that spanking or any form of corporal punishment is illegal in many countries, and can result in criminal charges, and potential loss of custody of your child.

If you have harmed your child through physical discipline or abuse, it is important to seek help and support immediately. You can contact local child protective services or a child abuse hotline for assistance, counseling or therapy.

It is always better to handle situations like these with proper communication and discipline methods that do not involve physical harm or abuse to the child.
