> Hitting someone at all is abuse, regardless of their age.

What about boxing, martial arts, football? Not all hitting is abuse.

> Hitting someone is violent by definition.

That's a pretty contextual term too. Chopping wood with an axe is not particularly violent, but smashing furniture during an angry fight is.



Ok, excluding being voluntarily hit, hitting someone is abuse. And in all cases it's violent.
