When Li performed his parental duties, he exercised his disciplinary power excessively. This kind of illegal and abusive behavior violates the crime of intentional injury in criminal law, and naturally it will be punished by law. Parents can get such a warning from this case, that is, the exercise of parents' disciplinary rights is not without boundaries, and the exercise of rights must be within the scope of law. Otherwise, even if the motives and wishes are understandable, they must be punished by law. The relationship between maximizing children's interests and parents' right to reform punishment according to law is the unity of opposites, which seems to be contradictory, but in fact it is consistent. Maximizing children's interests is the goal, and parents' punishment right is only a means. Everything should be unified to the healthy growth of children. Parents' right to discipline, also known as dominance, is an extended right based on parents' right to protect education. Good results can be achieved by adopting appropriate methods at the right time. Generally speaking, it can only be implemented if minor children have bad behavior and don't listen to their parents' discipline. The purpose of implementation is to educate children to change their ways.
The behaviors of "wolf father" and "tiger mother" seen in social life often do not meet the requirements of exercising parental discipline. Take Li as an example, the purpose of exercising the right of punishment is to correct the evil for the child, provided that the child's misdeeds are discovered. It is obviously inappropriate for Li to use such serious violence just because the child has not finished his homework. Therefore, her behavior does not meet the conditions for exercising her parents' disciplinary rights. At the same time, even if parents exercise the right to discipline and meet the starting conditions, they must not violate the laws and regulations of the state on the protection of minors, and must not harm the personal rights of their children. Li's behavior not only does not meet the starting conditions of parental rights, but also goes far beyond the boundaries of parental rights from the perspective of execution.
The exercise of parents' disciplinary right must be for the sake of children, helping them to turn over a new leaf. The scale of the exercise is strictly limited within the scope permitted by law, and it is generally lighter if it is necessary. In short, the exercise of parents' disciplinary power must conform to the principle of maximizing children's interests.
