The abuse as a social problem was identified in 1962 with the publication of the article The battered Child Syndrome, but unfortunately the statistics of many surveys confirm that the abuse is still the most common issue that happens in the family. The perpetrators of such destructive conduct are mainly parents, moving away from the picture of a parent as a caring, patient and protective. In order to control and discipline the child, parents often use methods of punishment, in particular physical ones. Many authors separate corporal punishment from abuse by degree of integrity, others consider that punishment as a method of raising is abuse that is socially acceptable, or it's preceded by punishment. The problem of such a learning method is that the parents are not often aware of the long term, negative consequences, but can only perceive the actual effects. Corporal punishment is a violation of children's rights, it effects theirs development and increases the chances that the victim itself becomes the perpetrator in adulthood. It is therefore essential that toreduce such behaviours through various educational programmes for parents, children, victims and perpetrators, in order to prevent and minimise this harm to the greatest possible extent.
