I don't have children, so consider my opinion on this topic with that in mind.
Are there people out there that cross the line of punishment/beating?
Yes. oh god yes.
Does everybody who spanks in public deserve to get in trouble for it?
No.
Should parents spank?
YES YES YES.
Kids, if left unchecked are unruley and uncontrollable. A child's mind is not fully developed. A child's mind does not respond to/understand a "stern talking to". A child's undeveloped mind responds to pain. Thus the spank for punishment for bad behavior.
Just like you can't expect a child's body to be able to lift heavy objects, you cannot expect a child's mind to be able to process adult reasoning and logic. Spank them. They learn.
