Why & Who

Our dream to make California the 1st U.S. state to outlaw all forms of corporal punishment, joining 70 countries worldwide.

Ban Hitting Kids (BHK) is an advocacy site with two goals:

1. Encourage and support California legislators to write, offer, and pass a bill that would outlaw corporal punishment in private schools and in the home.

2. Build awareness among parents, educators, therapists, healthcare professionals, and others of the uses and harms of corporal punishment in California.

Founded by a parent, BHK seeks to protect every child from violence and ensure the law reflects their human rights.

Also, we are here making claim on a bold dream but we know we do not know it all. Tell us what we need to know to get this done, however long it takes.
