[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a fine line between spanking and abuse.
Spanking reinforces to a child that if they continue to do as they please and not follow authority, they will feel it where it hurts. Abuse is when someone is physically assaulting a child for no logical reason....when the anger is unwarranted or out of control.

If spanking is ever outlawed, you bet this world will be full of a bunch of self-entitled brats. Wait and see. I promise.

Anyway, it is NONE of your business how anyone else raises their kids OP.
I am against certain issues myself, but I am hired to do as the parents wish and what they do when I am not there is truly none of my business.

I kind of agree with this. I don't necessarily like spanking over all (and would never ever consider it for a charge), but I was spanked when a child and was never really hurt. I was hurt much more by falling down or what ever else I happened to do to myself. It taught me that once my parents told me to stop, or go and do something, that if I didn't listen there would be a real consequences for not obeying. I learned that once my parents said "do you need to be spanked?" I could then say no and act like I should be.

I see way too many kids that talk back to their parents repeatedly, have to be put into timeout after timeout (if the parents are even bothering with that anymore), and quite often, eventually the parents give in to their children to just try to get them to stop doing something bad, or to do what they want them to do. I don't look back at being spanked, or having my mouth washed out with soap, as being traumatized and beaten.

I am sure there are many other things that can be done INSTEAD of spanking, and for most kids those alternatives work, but I also think that for some, spanking might be the one thing that would get them to straighten out their bad attitudes and keep them in check. After a short while, it is not the actual act of spanking, but just knowing it might happen, that will do all the work.[/quote]
