I don't think its acceptable for me and mine, but I have to respect it because it is under the shield and guise of religious beliefs.

Within limits. It's not OK, or legal, to beat your children because your "belief system" entails physical violence against them. Sure, parents have a lot of leeway in dealing with their children (whether many deserve it or not is another discussion), but that doesnt leave them free reign to do whatever they like. I see similar issues here. I'm sure I'm a bit biased, but I find it hard to believe that
anyone can legitimately justify what is happening here.
