You are missing the point...at what point does spanking become abuse?

To some on this thread, at no point. I pity their children.

agreed.....spanking is spanking until it becomes more....I do agree.

I come from a family of four boys and my parents used to beat the hell out of us for anything we did wrong. In hindsight, it never worked, and only made us into angry, violent people. I would never raise a hand to one of my three boys. Violence against your own children is nothing but your admitted failure as a parent to instill proper values in them.
