        My siblings and I all got spankings, I spanked if nothing else worked. I was not traumatized and my children said they weren't either

        Spanking is nothing. Try getting the backhand with a wedding ring.

        And in other news, the effects of kids growing up without discipline and respect will linger for a lifetime. They're called Millennials.

        It is not okay to slap a dog so why do people think it's okay to hit an innocent child? Geez! Enough. It's never okay to hit, EVER!

        More kids in the country need to be spanked as did many of their parents when they were children.

        Spanking should be in moderation and the Last resort. Not in public and explain that to the child so they won't hurt themselves!
