        there's a fine line b/w hitting & disciplining children; I'm a successful product of the latter

        I find myself amazed this is still a discussion in the US. I have lived in Denmark for several years--hitting a child is a crime.

        a lot of commenters don't science. Most evidence is corporal punishment harms children. Doesn't matter if YOU turned out fine.

        too many don't. Not just blacks people in general. We would have this lawlessness and disrespect for the police and country.

        this is horrific! Why would anyone believe inflicting pain and humiliation on a child would be a good thing or a way to teach?
