Using corporal punishment against children or anyone else is a bad idea. What is assumed is that the parent or school principal is sound enough to use good judgment. Sometimes, parents provoke their children and vent their frustrations onto them. Some parents sometimes act less mature than their children, and some rationalize. Parents may have alcoholism and be subject to overreacting. Though our country has a history of using corporal punishment against children, it was formed by stealing land from the native inhabitants, unwarranted killing, and genocide. In addition, darker-skinned Africans were kidnapped and whipped to be exploited as enslaved people. In America, women were once treated in a very demeaning way. It was lawful for a husband to beat up and rape his wife without recourse. For emotionally disturbed children, getting through each day may be a punishment in itself. Disturbed people tend to self-harm, a significant mental health issue. Try telling a disturbed child that it is okay for adults to harm his body physically, but it is not permissible for him to hurt himself, even in the same way. We have wars, genocide, slavery, human rights abuses, gross inequality, police brutality, starvation, slavery, and torture going on all over the world. Administering corporal punishment to a child tells him that it is okay to physically harm persons who are not protected by laws and have limited control over their impulses. Perhaps it would be condign for proponents of such shame-inducing cruel practices to undergo severe corporal punishment to gain empathy and compassion and realize how their specious views harm weaker persons. There is almost always a better way to solve these issues. If corporal punishment seems okay, then child molestation, incest, forced nudity, and even forcible rape could be rationalized as okay and used as punishments or subjugation. I think you may find a correlation between administering corporal punishments to children and an increase in adolescent suicide. This practice may also sway very disturbed children to seek revenge, such as the horrific occurrences of school shootings.

Corporal punishment has still got a place in society today in my opinion because too many other punishments just don't work. Today's children are not afraid of things like being put in time out, being sent to naughty corners or their bedroom, being grounded, being given detention, or even suspension. Because of punishments like this today's kids know what boundaries that they can push, how far that they can push them, and exactly what they can get away with. That seems to be just about anything and everything. As a result of this they have got no respect for their elders or authority. Parents, teachers, and any other adult figure of authority that a child is in the care of needs to be given back the authority to discipline naughty, disobedient, or disrespectful children as they see fit. That includes being able to use corporal punishment as a means of discipline. If a child has ignored repeated warnings to stop misbehaving, continually won't do what they're told to do when they're told to do it, or treats an adult in a disrespectful manner after being warned not to, then they have earned themselves a smacked bottom. No child that I know of likes getting their bottom smacked, especially if it's done in front of others. If children knew that this was what would happen to them for continued naughty, disobedient, or disrespectful behaviour, they would show far more respect towards adults and authority than what they currently do. Smacking a child should never be abusive or done in a manner that will cause physical pain.. One moderate smack with the open palm of the hand on a clothed bottom will send a clear message to a child that continued naughty, disobedient, and disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated.
