How many times, out of a hundred, would you say that children are spanked because they were about to touch a hot stove or stick their fingers in a socket...

Most the time?

Once more, abuse is something very different. The situations it occurs in are different. The responses are different. And the results are different.

You seem to not be able to see this.

Someone who disciplines their child, including with physical means, has no causation with someone who abuses their child.

Abuse is things like cig burns on a 20 (or 3) month old baby and bruises/etc. Someone disciplining a 20 month old won't have any similarity in actions, effects, causes, or situations.
