The key is as a parent, know the law. Some children don't realize you can still get a belt, and wear their behinds out, as long as you dont leave a mark. See the thing is, so many people out there was going, I'm calling the people on you for child abuse. But even them theirselves have no idea what child abuse really is. So parents, next time your kids threaten to call the people on you, do like I do. When they act out in public, let them know you are going to jail becuase you are going to kill them in public. Then give them a whack. If they think you are scared by that, they will use that against you every time.

I used to wonder the same thing, but now that I have children, I find many ways to parent them without having to use any type of physical punishment. I think there is much more information and help out there these days then back when we were kids. There is the internet, and books, television programs, etc., all there to help you parent your kids in the best way possible.
