U.S. ALLIANCE TO END THE HITTING OF CHILDREN

The U.S. Alliance to End the Hitting of Children was founded in 2011 to bring together individuals and organizations who want to see an end to corporal punishment - an antiquated and dangerous form of disciplining a child. In 2018, the organization joined forces with the Vincent J. Fontana Center for Child Protection of the New York Foundling and the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children.

The Alliance, through education and legal means, seeks to end all social justifications and legal authorizations of corporal punishment. Achieving these goals will give children the same protection from this sort of physical violence that is already enjoyed by adults under state and federal law.

Our Vision: We envision a country where children are loved, valued, respected -- and never hit.
