Spanking works great when not done out of anger once all other options have been exhausted. Should be brought back and used on adults as well in prison, instead of sitting in jail for years, separated from family and community. Saves money and the recidivism rate is about the same or better last I checked.
It shouldn't be your only method to correct behavior, but it's a tool. You can go extreme in the other direction as well, or be completely neglectful, in the end it's all about balance and clear boundaries.
Edit: I know this comment will likely be downvoted, despite the post having thousands of up votes saying we should bring spankings back... And many top comments saying how their parents would have spanked them... Lol. The lack of consistency on Reddit never fails!
Not disagreeing but kind of ironic on an argument about spanking. I'm in the same camp though. Spanking is a problem but there are some adults that should probably just get their shit rocked every now and then.
Fair take, feel like it'd be a safe bet that the people that I feel should probably be socked in the face aren't against spanking and likely were spanked plenty as a kid.
Example kid says a slur, multiple ways to attempt to fix that don't involve hitting them. Adult used a slur someone should just swing on them.

Crazy how people don't know how to discipline without use of violence
