It could be argued that a tap could also be a long way from a full blown smack. I'm not trying to come across as saying that parents who smack are wrong, each to their own. I'm just suprised to see so many who say the lack of smacking relates to the lack of discipline we have in society today. I think a lot of people who we see as bad in society probably come from homes where physical punishment is the norm. They then take that in to the outside world.
