“We are very happy for our client, he is a concerned father who was properly disciplining a child who was out of control. ACS has to stop attacking parents for being good parents,” Mr. Discioarro said. New York Penal Law 35.10.1 clearly states that:
“A parent, guardian or other person entrusted with the care and supervision of a person under the age of twenty-one or an incompetent person, and a teacher or other person entrusted with the care and supervision of a person under the age of twenty-one for a special purpose, may use physical force, but not deadly physical force, upon such person when and to the extent that he reasonably believes it necessary to maintain discipline or to promote the welfare of such person.”
