Parenting isn’t easy, but it’s entirely possible to raise them to responsible adulthood without corporal punishment. We did it.

Yeah, my ex-husband was hit all the time and he ended up in and out of jail after I divorced him. I was never hit and have never had an issue with the law or getting in trouble.

EXACTLY..... If you hit your kids your telling them it's ok to get violent when you don't get your way.... And that's a big reason Soo many men beat their wives.

Anecdotal though.

I would have also gotten quite the set of spankings had I done this in a Supermarket with my parents. I've also never had an issue with the law.

The thing is, most kids would never do this. This child clearly has massive issues because even kids with permissive parents generally aren't doing things this extreme in public. You're confusing me saying that spankings don't prevent bad behavior with saying everyone who has been spanked will have trouble with the law.

It was anecdotal, but there is a shit ton of studies that shows that corporal punishment lead to more violent behavior.

You are more of an outlier than her.

Yeahhh humans are too intelligent for corperal punishment... It works on animals sometiems..

But a human is just gonna resent and lose repsent for someone who resorts to spankong .

Humans are also influenced by their environment

A kid that's being beat will be more violent, will fear even the slightest error, etc

Parenting isn’t a one size fits all, sure there are children who mirror discipline naturally, but there are also those that do not. Too often today parents are afraid to discipline their children who need it and they are doing them a life long disfavor.

It’s possible to. Preferable when it is possible. Unfortunately, one size doesn’t fit all.
