I am a parent, and as I get older, and my children get older, the spankings have stopped. I haven't spanked my 10 year old in a very very long time, unless it was in play, which makes it not spanking. I don't agree with pulling the childs pants down and spanking them in public.. If any of my children were misbehaving in public, I would warn them twice and say if it continues, there will be a punishment. If I were in a public place (mall, store, etc...) I would take my child to the restroom.
The fear of being spanked worse than the spanking itself. As I was growing up, just the fear of my father or mother spanking me was enough deterent.
On the same note, how can one without children be forcing their views on those that have children.
Okay, that's enough from me on this subject.
