Corporal punishment is a thing of the past along with the death penalty.....and like the death penalty it will never return.
We have gone too far the other way now, children have been given too much choice and their opinions are sought on everything.....good in some ways, not so good in others.
As several have said, naughty children are the result of poor parenting and I don't know how we can rectify that.
