I really hope that some of you never have children. That may sound harsh and mean, but I do not care. No child, no matter what they have done, deserves to be beaten with any object. I do, in a way, understand why a parent might spank their children, however, i do think that there are better ways to go about punishing a child. A very wise person once said this, "most parents who use corpral punishment do so out of anger and frustration, not the desire to raise a responsible adult."
