Well in the USA most people are afraid of hitting their kids in public because someone might call the police and have them taken away. Some people think just slapping their leg is child abuse. Personally for me my parents felt nothing was child abuse when it comes to spanking. I got my pants pulled down and my bare ass whipped with a belt. I was whipped with a rose bush cutting that still had the thorns on it by my aunt. My mom would use the wire end of a fly swatter, smack me with a wet diswater hand, and once I even got whipped with a wooden spoon. What is funny is that I was an extremely mean and spiteful child and whipping me didn't work. This was in the eighties but I remember in the nineties we started this thing where people were getting arrested for hitting their kids. Most people accept whipping your kids...it's just that you never know who may be watching if you are in a store. It's best to whip their asses when there are no cameras around!
