RCW 9A.16.100 Use of force on children—Policy—Actions presumed unreasonable.It is the policy of this state to protect children from assault and abuse and to encourage parents, teachers, and their authorized agents to use methods of correction and restraint of children that are not dangerous to the children. However, the physical discipline of a child is not unlawful when it is reasonable and moderate and is inflicted by a parent, teacher, or guardian for purposes of restraining or correcting the child. Any use of force on a child by any other person is unlawful unless it is reasonable and moderate and is authorized in advance by the child's parent or guardian for purposes of restraining or correcting the child.The following actions are presumed unreasonable when used to correct or restrain a child: (1) Throwing, kicking, burning, or cutting a child; (2) striking a child with a closed fist; (3) shaking a child under age three; (4) interfering with a child's breathing; (5) threatening a child with a deadly weapon; or (6) doing any other act that is likely to cause and which does cause bodily harm greater than transient pain or minor temporary marks. The age, size, and condition of the child and the location of the injury shall be considered when determining whether the bodily harm is reasonable or moderate. This list is illustrative of unreasonable actions and is not intended to be exclusive.[ 1986 c 149 § 1.]

If the trier of fact makes a determination of self-defense, the judge shall determine the amount of the award.(3) Notwithstanding a finding that a defendant's actions were justified by self-defense, if the trier of fact also determines that the defendant was engaged in criminal conduct substantially related to the events giving rise to the charges filed against the defendant the judge may deny or reduce the amount of the award. In determining the amount of the award, the judge shall also consider the seriousness of the initial criminal conduct.Nothing in this section precludes the legislature from using the sundry claims process to grant an award where none was granted under this section or to grant a higher award than one granted under this section.(4) Whenever the issue of self-defense under this section is decided by a judge, the judge shall consider the same questions as must be answered in the special verdict under subsection (4) [(5)] of this section.(5) Whenever the issue of self-defense under this section has been submitted to a jury, and the jury has found the defendant not guilty, the court shall instruct the jury to return a special verdict in substantially the following form: answer yes or no 1.Was the finding of not guilty based upon self-defense? . . . . . 2.If your answer to question 1 is no, do not answer the remaining question.  3.If your answer to question 1 is yes, was the defendant:  a.Protecting himself or herself? . . . . . b.Protecting his or her family? . . . . . c.Protecting his or her property? . . . . . d.Coming to the aid of another who was in imminent danger of a heinous crime? . . . . . e.Coming to the aid of another who was the victim of a heinous crime? . . . . . f.Engaged in criminal conduct substantially related to the events giving rise to the crime with which the defendant is charged? . . . . .[ 1995 c 44 § 1; 1989 c 94 § 1; 1977 ex.s. c 206 § 8.
