- B that concerns only the family.
- C you cannot be punished for it.

Explanation
Children in Germany have a legal right to a non-violent upbringing, so hitting a child is prohibited and can lead to punishment under the criminal code.

- Causing bodily harm to a child is punishable just like it would be against anyone else.
