    In school and 99% of scenarios, physicality doesn’t do any good. But if you have a really young child, like 3-5, and they hurt another child or an animal and show no remorse, I think spanking is acceptable as a punishment immediately after the incident. They might have trouble with developing empathy and need to understand they hurt another being.

      How does their adult role model hitting them not just teach them that hitting is socially acceptable?

      Teaching this to a kid without empathy seems like the worst imaginable circumstance lol.

      And I sure as hell don’t want someone other than the parents ever making that decision.
