I'm so glad you are speaking out about this topic. I feel that the idea of child 'spanking' isn't even morally questioned very often anymore since it has been so ingrained in people's minds for so long now. I've always felt that it is considered abuse and it is never justified to hit/spank a child. Luckily for me my parents never did this but I know of others who did and I could never understand a parent doing that to a child.
So glad I found your page. Your articles have been taking up all of my tabs in my browser since I am so interested in them all. :)
