I’ve always heard that the 1979 law had no criminal penalty, but was enforced mainly with helping / educating the parents. So you seem to imply that the effect of the 1979 law was to remove the criminal penalties applicable to the offences of “physical violence in general” when the victim is one’s child?
I don’t know the exact penalties involved. What I do know is that the 1979 law did not make any change as regards legality of spanking your children. It was simply a clarification.
