Answer
Welcome to Ask Pat,
You appear to be wondering that if parents are allowed to hit their son aged 15 years. It sounds like you’re looking for clarity around this matter.
No one has the right to physically hurt anyone else by hitting them. An adult hitting a young person is never okay and it is never a young person’s fault.
Young people would have the right to get help from an adult that they feel safe with. Sometimes it can be helpful to talk to a trusted adult such as a family member, teacher, doctor or a school guidance counsellor. If you don’t feel like there is someone in your life that you can talk to, Childline is always here.
