there's a difference between spanking a child and beating them. then there's the difference between spanking them for doing something minor and spanking them for throwing an ungodly fit in a store. i don't have kids, but i want a couple later on. i'll try taking away privaleges but if they continue to act bratty, then it's a hand to the back side. and it's also on the child and how they take the discipline. i hate being somewhere and seeing a kid throw a fit and screaming like a banchee and the parent doesn't do anything. i'm just like "shut the kid up already!" i don't know if it's thier parenting and how they do the " just ignore them because they're trying to get attention" ideal. the children that don't get disciplined early on lead to the disrespectful brats that are running around the streets in their teens. and as far as the child hitting back, OH HELL NO!!!! they got that spanking for a reason, and i'd be damned if that happened to me.
