I think a child should be smacked if he/she does something wrong. I don't think that a smack to the face is okay, nor going overboard with it. My mother spanked me when I did something wrong and occasionally used the belt when I didn't get the message. Those were all learning experiences for me (even though I wouldn't say that then). If a child isn't taught the difference between right and wrong somehow, they will never know and act crazy later on. (A lot like they do now...)But I believe there's a limit. People think that if we "act violently" towards our children they will become crazy serial killers and what not. Noooo not really. Maybe if they're abused, but that's a different story. It's all a part of discipline.
Is smacking children socially acceptable?
