Some children are just idiots and can't learn or realize, even for just a day, that what they may be doing is wrong without being spanked. They don't think like adults at all, and so their form of punishment should be different.
I'm not saying smack your kids around, but for christsake, if he is climbing down a friggin drain and simply yelling "You may fall in there!" is not working, go to him and grab him and smack his rear.
I'd rather have my kid cry for a few minutes than be stuck in a drain for hours.
Also, spanking a child under the age of 8 or 9 for situations like this is nothing like spanking a 14 or 15 year old. And some people say, "Well, I'd NEVER spank my cat!" Because a cat is a CAT and not a human child. The same as a child is a child and not an adolescent or adult.
Spanking them everyday may be harsh.. and whipping them is harsher.. but a few quick slaps to the rear in their lifetime isn't going to traumatize a child if you give them the love and care and support they need.
