据悉,《刑法》中支持父母通过体罚的方式管教孩子的条文在第43条(Section 43)。具体是:“任何学校教师,父母或处于父母地位的人,只要根据情况合情合理,即可以对其照管的学生或儿童采取恰当的体罚方式进行纠正。”(Every schoolteacher, parent or person standing in the place of a parent is justified in using force by way of correction toward a pupil or child, as the case may be, who is under his care, if the force does not exceed what is reasonable under the circumstances.)
