I' sorry, but....exactly what right does the government have to tell a parent how they can or cannot discpline a child. And how exactly would they find out? That puts the child in the position of power. Gee, You can't spank me and if you do, you are gonna get arrested.
What else does the government have control over? Your child had to take vitamins, has to color within the lines, has to wear clean underwear every day? Ordinary parental discipline is NONE of the government's freakin' business.
