What if it's a lesson about physical abuse? Your kid hits his sister or is physically abusive to someone. A spanking will give them plenty to think about the consequences of their act, and how their violence hurts other people, as well as teaching them that there are bigger fish in the sea that won't just stop with a few slaps to the butt. Which should be explained sometime after the spanking. I'm not saying it should be a frequent punishment for all bad behavior. Just that there are a few situations where it would be an effective teaching tool.
