THIS is the reason that kids no longer have any sense of right and wrong. When the unholy police state can arrest a parent for spanking one of their own children with a belt, and charge him with assault with a deadly weapon, you know that society is very near to collapse.

They probably would have given my Dad the Death Penalty......I should have been so lucky to get the belt....I got the cat-o-nine-tails....!

You're exactly right. Discipline has already been abandoned by a huge percentage of parents because they're too weak themselves to absorb the pain of heart and soul that comes with disciplining a child you love. Now it's been taken a step further and outlawed. A society in which there is no way to teach the principle of CONSEQUENCE to its children is a society with a bleak outlook for the future.
