"Spanking of children within families is illegal in some countries (for example, Sweden, Finland, Denmark , Norway, Austria, Germany, Italy, Cyprus, Croatia, Israel and Latvia). Similar initiatives in the U.S. have repeatedly failed. Parental rights groups have formed since the 1990s to prevent spanking from being criminalized."
