I do child abuse work and spanking is wrong. Period.
The key word is PROPERLY. This means in love, not in anger, with regret, with the child's best interest at heart, without delay, and appropriate.
Leftists, who have no true love, are incapable of administering proper discipline. Hence, they project their limitations on everyone else.
The Bible in Proverbs is very clear about the importance of such discipline. For example, Proverbs 13:24 (NIV) "Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them." The (NKJV) brings out this nuance "he who loves him disciplines him promptly." The anti-spanking movement is at its root an anti-God, man-knows-best idea.
Sounds like the typical brain washed collage educated social worker.
What was the result? Well, we lost count of number of times that people would come up to our table in a restaurant when our children were little and tell us how wonderful they were and how well behaved they were. It’s because they had a healthy balance of discipline. We let them be kids at home but in public they knew, even when they were 2, that they better behave. There are rules for a polite society and children cannot be reasoned with at times. But the bottom line is this: God’s Holy Word says that there are times when it is appropriate to physically discipline your children. The reason problems arise is because people don’t follow all of God’s Word and forget to love and to raise them according to the tenor of their way (Proverbs 22:6). However, to throw out Gods Word because of sinful people is always the wrong approach. People adjust to God’s Word. We don’t adjust God’s Word because of people.
But, if you are one who believes you can rewrite God’s Word or who doesn’t believe in God to begin with, you’ve got bigger problems than disciplinary issues.
Punishment from a position of love can never be wrong. Punishment out of anger is always wrong. Our job as parents is to raise decent, law abiding, loving future adults; if you can do it without punishment all the better but very few kids fall into that category.
Thanks for your OPINION.
But its WRONG.
“I do child abuse work and spanking is wrong. Period.”
I’m not surprised that someone in your line of work would come to that conclusion. You see the worst examples of parenting and probably many of the abusers hit their children. You see them BECAUSE they have failed at parenting. What you dont see are the millions of parents who spanked (not abused) their kids as a means of correcting bad behavior and got good results.

Look at the crap they get away with on college campuses? Lot of good “time outs” have done, A “time out” when I was young meant a period of unconsciousness.
Well,I’d say you don’t have all the knowledge you use to make that blanket statement & this is backed up by personal experience.
Well,I’d say a blanket statement like that is wrong & apparently you don’t have all the info you need to say something like that. This is based on personal experience.
