If you hit your kid as punishment, you should go to prison for at least a few years, permanently lose custody, pay the state child support to care for your child, and then pay the child alimony until they are at least thirty-six. If you fall short, your social security/pensions/401(k)s should go to them rather than you.
Stop hitting your children!
