Yes, Diya is obligatory if the beating or hitting caused reddishness in the skin. Diya is to be paid to the person (child) himself either by putting the amount in trust with his guardian or in his account or even by spending it on him.

Woman . Man . Diyah

What is the concept of blood money in Islam? And is it true that the blood money for women is half that for men?

Blood money (Diyyah) is a penalty and compensation money to be given to the family of the person who was killed to compensate the financial loss. If the killer committed the crime deliberately then he must be punished and Diyyah will not be enough.

Diyyah of man is more then the Diyyah of woman because man is usually the person who works and spends on his family and the financial loss of his family is much more.
