[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]White lady here. I grew up lower MC in a heavily Latino neighborhood. Everyone spanked and hit their kids. Fast forward to now- I am well off and guess what? Most my friends who are also well-off spank or hit their kids! They just don't admit to it as freely and won't do it in public. I believe the higher the SES, the more things are done in private. That's my hypotheses and I am sticking to it.[/quote]

Clearly higher SES individuals spank less than lower status families. I know very few people that spank their kids, and the data bear this out:

Of course. They're too busy abusing their household staff. No data to ever scientifically prove it. But some of us witness plenty of it. Sad.[/quote]

That's just silly.   Most higher SES families don't even have domestic staff.  Some do, but not most.  The majority of those that do, probably have someone come once/week or twice/month, and doubtful there's abuse happening in that one day. So most of the data would not be negated by your weird unsubstantiated claim.[/quote]
