My two cents would be, how did you hit her?
If you put a fist together and pounded her, then I really have no empathy for you.
If you slapped her, or whipped her around and gave her a spank then, I can understand your reaction.
Were you aquitted, convicted or do you still have to stand trial?

The police have to assume that it's a real complaint. They weren't there and your daughter said you assaulted her. It's a judge or jury's job to decide if you abused her or if it was a reasonable act. If the police are called into a home where true abuse is happening, and they leave the abuser there, they may seriously hurt or kill the child for reporting them.

I don't spank. I don't think all spanking is abuse, but again in general I don't think it's an effect method of disciplining and I think it has the potential to quickly turn into abuse. I have no problem disciplining my children without resorting to violence. Setting limits and consequences for violating those limits, starts when they are very small. If we create a solid base for a children when they are young, they're far more apt to continue to follow the "right" paths as they get older.
