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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Child abuse as applied to a parent is not a non-existent crime. This court's decision in Wilson recognized that a parent, or one in parental authority, such as appellant, enjoys a privilege of corporal punishment. Wilson, 744 So.2d at 1240 ; see also Kama v. State, 507 So.2d 154 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987). Thus, it is not that simple child abuse by a parent is a nonexistent crime, rather, there is a parental privilege which may be asserted as an affirmative defense in a prosecution for simple child abuse.”
