That is what the issue is originally about, and I totally agree that if that is what the youngster was being punished about ,it was totally out of line for the parent. But at the end of that segment,the guy is asking "is it right or wrong to hit your child". So we forgot about butthead and started running with the issue of "corporal punishment". Like a lot of other threads,we tend to branch off in anouther direction,but we did not get totally off track. Anyway we voiced our opinions and it really is an issue to think about, if you do belive in the use of " corporal punishment".Please think before you act. Myself, I have never used a switch or a belt on a youngster, firm hand on the bottom sides usually got inapropriate behavior modified.
