> The use of all violence is prohibited in Norway. You are not allowed to abuse children or use any other kind of corporeal punishment when bringing up children. Severe penalties may be applied to anyone who has physically abused a child. Never saw that before. This should be standard everywhere.
Pretty sure it’s the law everywhere
All violence sounds pretty extreme to me by most standards. For instance, boxing would be illegal, and toddlers would be in jail if seen hitting their parents/siblings. In practice I imagine it means something like "no violence from someone larger to someone smaller."
Most places no one really gives a shit if it goes the other way around, like young kid hitting parent or wife hitting husband.
