Before the PC world of helicopter mothers...a belt was a commonly used form of punishment. Lets not act like is wasn't....because that would disingenuous. It would be a stretch to us this as evidence that either of the parents were abusing him.
It some cultures, it still is used....there is a difference between disciplining your child and deliberately causing lasting injury.
I dont advocate using a belt...but if you consider it abuse then probably half of the kids from 1950-1980 were abused. Teachers could spank kids when I was in school...our principle had a paddle in his office...and every kid knew about it.
