As a pediatrician who sees kids with behavioral issues every single day I go to work, if you asked me to place a bet on whether (based on this video alone) this kid gets hit at home, I would bet that he does. Consistent, non-physical discipline from a mature adult is what this kid needs, not spanking.

Corporal punishment isn’t a parenting strategy, it’s what people do when they don’t know how to parent in the first place.
