Not really, giving a kid a swipe on the ass is a lot different than balling up your fist and giving them a beat down. The difference is in the intent and in the way the discipline is carried out. I was also hit by adults that were not my parents and that was abuse, but I knew the difference back then just as I knew today.
Spank your kids or have spoiled brats?
