No, they're just switch to a spanking implement - belt, a switch, a paddle... my parents used a wooden spoon and made the spankee go and get it.

I don't have kids and hopefully never will (unless I go crazy and decide to adopt a little hooligan) but I have never understood the reasoning that it's not okay to hit a perfect stranger for being an idiot, nor is it okay to hit someone else's kid for acting up in public, but it's perfectly okay to hit your own kid? No. If hitting isn't okay to do to strangers, it's even less okay to do to someone you know, let alone your own child.
