Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[w]hether the force used by a parent under § 53a-18 (1) is justifiable and not criminal depends on whether it is reasonable physical force that the parent believes to be necessary to maintain discipline or to promote the welfare of [the] minor .... While there exists a parental right to punish children for their own welfare, to control and restrain them and to adopt disciplinary measures in the exercise of that right, whether the limit of reasonable physical force has been reached in any particular case is a factual determination to be made by the trier of fact.”
