"Smacking doesn't really hurt. It's just to tell you off. Hitting is like a violence and hurts more. Children need to be smacked if they are being bad and won't listen to teach them a lesson, but not to be hit though.
Any parent that hit a child would be classed as child abuse but smacking is just necessary if a child won't listen and is being downright naughty. They need it to learn."

From my 10 year old:

"Smacking is just like gently and stuff. Hitting is a big fat massive wham. If a child started a fire at school or owt they need a smack or something else dangerous like nearly kill someone or summat they need a smack. You should never actually like hit a child because that's child abuse."

I've typed that exactly as they said it in their own words, each one asked separately.
