Does a parent have a right to discipline their child?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from John S., In re, 135 Cal.Rptr. 893, 66 Cal.App.3d 343 (Cal. App. 1977):
'Since the law imposes on the parent a duty to rear and discipline his child and confers the right to prescribe a course of reasonable conduct for its development, the parent has a wide discretion in the performance of his parental functions . . .' (Emery v. Emery (1955) 45 Cal.2d 421, 429-430, 289 P.2d 218, 224.)
