Thank you for making my point about today's bad parents .  The day spanking a child is considered assault is the day parents might as well surrender their kids to the state for upbringing .  We see the result of God and spanking being taken out of the classroom.     I travel a lot , and see parents and kids from all over the country and around the world .  It's easy to spot kids who are going to have problems someday by the way their parents let their kids misbehave . One spanking is better that ten time out sessions .  Thanks for your concern , but I'm sure you'll be happy to hear my kids are doing well.  It sounds like yours are the ones I  should worry about.
