Proverbs 23:13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die.

That should be plain (see 82), but like as liberals charge all those who oppose things like affirmative action as being racist, and homosexual activists charge all those who will not affirm their sin as being homophobic, so there are those who believe all are to train up a child in the way he should go - and which pertains to more than outward actions - without the use of corporeal punishment, charge others as being control freaks who love to hurt their own because they believe that the Scriptural judicious use of corporeal punishment is sometime necessary, and that basic reverence of authority is important, .
Of course, then you have a parent who will abuse Scriptural texts in order to justify their abuse,and which allows those who engage in a false balance to broadbrush those who do as being abusers.

But as Scripture is often effectively only a secondary authority in such cases.
