"Parents should be allowed to beat their kids when they act up. My parents beat me all the time and I turned out okay!"

-People who did not, in fact, turn out okay

I was spanked as a child and am not okay, but to be fair, the childhood friends I keep up with were not spanked as children and also are not okay. Clearly we are in need of a third option.

Just a little spanking, as a treat?

Whoops now I'm a dominatrix. How does this keep happening?

I think the problem isn't that spanking is bad, I think the problem is that some parents just skip every step that leads to that being the only remaining alternative. The problem is that learning those strategies is not easy, parents don't educate themselves on proper parenting.
