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.

Collectively, we are working toward the goal of ending all hitting of children.

We envision a country where children are loved, valued, respected — and never hit.
