I don't have kids, and don't really have an opinion. BUT my parents spanked me when I deserved it and I turned out okay. In fact, I have a great relationship with both of them. It's not like they beat me, it was more about the humiliation than the hurt. For me as a kid, it worked. For some kids, it probably wouldn't.
Some parents believe a smack on the butt is okay, and it is. Some parents decide not to dicipline their kids that way, and that's okay too. I think it should be up to them.
