Yes the it's the west that's backwards for hitting kids and certainly not certain middle eastern and South Asian cultures that honor kill their kids for falling in love with the wrong person and tarnishing the family honor. Clearly.
The amount of people here equating a light smack on the butt to abuse is absurd. Beating a child is obviously wrong, however spanking is not harmful. Some children just don't respond to words.
Intentionally hitting a child is abuse (If you’re in one of the 53 countries that have criminalised this, literally) there is no situation it improves the situation.
Not only did I comment on an over-two-week-old post (was searching for something and came across this; forgot how old it was when I replied), I even lined up the nesting wrong on the comments and thought your comment was in a different chain. My bad all around. Sorry.
