To me it seems

that too many people do not spank their kids these days. Do you think time-outs work for those younger school-age children who vandalize property? Do you think they work for those smart-mouthed kids who disrespect their parents? Obviously not. To some it teaches that they can get away with anything without so much as a slap on the hand. If people would reprimand their children when they are in serious need of it they might behave. Time-outs don't always work. I'm h-e-l-l bent that my child will not grow into one of those disrespectful children we see so much of these days. And if a few spankings will achieve that and make the lesson stick in their mind, so be it. I do not beat my childen, I do not abuse my children. I believe in spankings and I think that if the situation calls for it, by all means use it. It brings to mind those kids they used to have on shows like Montel and Maury, those teens that thought they could talk however they want to adults. Granted the show might not have been real, but there ARE younger kids/teens out there who do it because they get away with it. I always said that if someone would slap the fire out of them and rock them back on their heels they would think twice before doing it again.
