The "abuse no jutsu" thread got deleted as it should have before I can post my input but I thought its important to share this.
Child abuse is a very serious and cruel issue, what Naruto did is not child abuse.
I think western society is being overprotective on this issue as a preventive measure in a sense that if the parent does as much as touch the child he/she can be convicted of abuse.
Unfortunately sometimes this backfires and you have spoiled brats that curse their parents and slap their mothers and threaten to call child support...
In some cultures parents "beating" their children when they misbehave is considered a form of discipline, that is what Naruto did.
I used inverted commas on "beating" because it is done in moderation and control to not harm the child, as there is a VERY fine line between what is acceptable and what is not, and good parents can always draw that line in bold.
People should stop throwing around abuse accusations here and there, abuse is a serious issue and falsely accusing these characters that are meant to be portrayed positively is very ugly. I am not only talking about Naruto's parenting but also Sasuke's marital behavior but that's for another time.
