I don't know which I hate worse...seeing a parent spank a child in public (which I think is tacky, although I don't presume to know anything about parenting) or seeing a four year old throw a tantrum because he/she isn't being getting what he/she wants. I've never seen anyone straight-up beat a child, although I have seen some pissed off kids throw some pretty mean punches at their parents.
I haven't decided how I'm going to handle the "to spank or not to spank" issue when I have my own kids. It's a difficult decision that there is no decisive answer to...
