Neal Augenstein naugenstein wtop. Tina Dione Woodson was convicted in Hanover County of assault and battery after disciplining her year-old twins with a belt. While each child had a minor bruise or mark afterward, neither was seriously injured.
The children were disciplined for using a cellphone outside the hours established by Woodson and her husband. A mutual friend had texted the twins. She then hit them with the non-buckle end of the belt. When the daughter was asked by the resource officer, she expressed similar fear. Woodson was sentenced to six months in jail on each count and ordered to spend 15 days in jail for each count, with the remaining time suspended.
While intentional touching qualifies as battery unless the person doing the touching has some legal justification or excuse, the presence of an accepted justification or excuse transforms what would otherwise be a crime into a permissible act, the opinion said. Woodson argued her convictions for assault and battery should be reversed because her actions constituted reasonable corporal punishment, falling within parental privilege.
In this way, the privilege generally serves the well-being of children—reflecting a trade-off between protecting children from the harm a parent may inflict and the harm that comes from unnecessary state interference.
Criminal proceedings may lead to incarceration or invasive community supervision, and civil intervention initiated by the child welfare system may lead to removal of the child from the home.
