For the child who is pushing the limits in a spectacularly inspired way, a swat across the backside can indicate requisite seriousness on the part of the responsible adult. There are some situations in which even that will not suffice, partly because some children are very determined, exploratory, and tough or because the offending behaviour is truly severe.
It seems that you are quite certain that spanking is always wrong, and that anyone recommending is therefore revealing an abusive nature. Is that your intent?
