Yesssss! It is definitely okay to spank your child within reason(sane reason). If it can"t be sanely done, then people should not have children. I believe a lot of people should not be living, anyway.

No there is a difference, like I said spanking is a last resort. The problem with kids today is they get spanked for anything. That's when whooping doesn't work for those future criminal, bad parenting. I use many methods before I spank, and if all else fails. Then the child understands how bad his/her actions really were.

You spank your child to show discipline. It is a last resort, cause most children understand if you just talk to them. I do believe some people use it first, and after while it just doesn't work.

If it's OK to hit an innocent child why isn't it OK to hit an adults who have choices about leaving

Proverbs Chapter 23
13 Withhold not correction from the child: for [if] thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
Proverbs 13:24 - He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Proverbs 22:15 - Foolishness [is] bound in the heart of a child; [but] the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Proverbs 19:18 - Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
Proverbs 29:15 - The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left [to himself] bringeth his mother to shame.
2 Timothy 3:16 - All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
1 Timothy 3:4 - One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
Proverbs 13:1 - A wise son [heareth] his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

Kids don't get spanked enough now a days, this would be why the kids are of out of control and are always in trouble.
Kids now a days will threat the parents if u hit me I will call the cops ! When I was younger I got my butt spanked at times ! I am still here and I am not a trouble making kid. There is a difference in spanking and beating your kids .

I think it's better for a parent to raise a child other than the prison system. We need to step back and let parents handle their children by any means possible that doesn't maim or injure the child.

We teach our kids that it's not ok to hit , yet some parents become angry and decide to spank their kids. I believe in protecting yourself in self defense not just becoming angry with your child

I was surprised to see that at the time I voted, only 27 out of 349 people voted "no." This would conclude that the majority of parents are in favor of spanking. Couldn't spanking be seen as the reason why kids are the way they are today? There are many other factors which contributes to the raise or decline of this nation's children. Too much tv, violent games, poor dietary habits, income, etc...
We have never raised a hand to our son. He is the most polite and respectful child you will ever meet. Our family has great respect for one another and we'd never do anything to disappoint anyone, it's a matter of deep respect and love. My son has never done anything that would even remotely require a punishment as harsh as spanking. I've seen children in stores that were slapped or spanked for actions as simple as touching something on a shelf. Our family talks about actions and situations, we figure out what is right and wrong together. In my opinion, that is what's lacking in today's society and even of that in the past. Instant reaction for a society that wants instant gratification. We all need to slow down and think.

It's fine to spank a child within reason. It's never ok to beat a child, draw blood, cuts, welts, that's violence and abuse.
My grandaughter was never spanked, she was put in the corner on short timeouts. It worked much better. One time she got into something she shouldn't have and put herself in the corner, had to tell her to get out of the corner lol.

I say yes it's okay to spank that's how we learn right from wrong as children but now days things are so screwed up and as soon as kids or teens do something wrong criminaly people are like why didn't the parents do something more

I was spanked as a child, I learned right from wrong and how to respect others. When others started to tell parents how to raise our children all the old values went out the window. There is a diffirenance between a spanking and a beating. Blaming bad children on how they were raised is so off the mark.

It is ok to spank within reason, that's the problem with the world today, people don't approve of any type of punishment and that's why kids are the way they are. No respect for anyone of anything.
