"The police where I come from at least don't typically deal with emotional damage. We've got no authority to deal with things that aren't physical in nature. The child spanking question I'm going to consider rhetorical, as I haven't seen a plethora of children running around at this time, but unless you were beating the child, then no, I don't think it would count. Lightly backhanding also does not count as a beating. Other cases, we'd take case by case."
