In a way yes and no. It's not normal for you to be left with scars because of a punishment. That is abuse. But a simple slap on the butt for punishment is fine. There's a fine line between punishment and abuse.
There are probably parents who still do it, personally my grandma growing up used to threaten me with a horse whip if I did something bad, but my parents never harmed me other than a light slap on the butt. But what do I know, I'm only 15 after all.
Is Physical punishment still common practice?
