Because when the kid is a minor it is child abuse, derrrr. He/she needs to be handled by parents, who may need a beating for not controlling their kids.

You absolutely can restrain your child. As a matter of fact you are responsible if you don't. That isn't nearly the same thing as a cop throwing a beat down.

is the child breaking a law by being "out of control"? If anything the parents of that "out of control" child should be beaten into the ground for bad parenting and raising future criminal. Don't worry sir I'm sure they will get plenty of beatings in high school.

Depends on your definition of physical force. Are you talking about beating the kid, holding them in a bear hug or not letting go of their hand when they try to run away? I once saw a lady holding her 11 year old son's arm so tightly that he was screaming in pain (and yes, I know the difference between a kid 'acting up' and a kid in real pain). I approached her because I thought that her use of force was out of line. However, I've seen my sister-in-law grab my nephew's arm in the store to get him back in control, but because she wasn't inflicting pain on him, it worked.
On a side note, I think if parents set certain rules for their kids and follow through on reasonable consequences (i.e. if you don't behave in the store, you don't get to watch your favorite t.v. show when we get home. Behaving in the store means you [fill in the blank]) ahead of time, kids will not act out. Also, kids imitate parents. If parents 'behave' in stores and remember their manners, it's a safe bet that children probably will too.

In Canada you can use reasonable force to restrain and/or discipline a child, it is written into the Criminal Code of Canada.
What do you suggest we do to people who are refusing to be arrested? Let them go? Hand them a teddy bear and offer a hug?

You are certainly allowed to use a REASONABLE amount of force to control YOUR child. I would not suggest you start grabbing other people's children.
There is a huge difference in controlling a child and controlling a resisting, violent adult criminal.

You can if it's your child. What should a cop do to somebody refusing to obey, just let them go.

it simple, one of you is sworn to uphold public peace and thats why taxed (paid by the general public) pay one of your paychecks and I'm guessing it isnt yours, assualt is assualt and if you cant control your child with simple voice commands thats your problem, how about trying to restrain someone who is high and 200 lbs heavier than your child, what do you think is more important to your personal safety, better yet the safety of the child you apparently cant control?
