I mean, yeah. Somebody the child innately trusts to protect them is physically hurting them. It's a lower degree of trauma, but it's still trauma. So, in my opinion, it's unacceptable.
I understand that tradition and the frustration of parenting make spanking acceptable to a lot of people, and I don't judge those people for being raised to believe it's ok. But based on what I've learned about how trauma affects people, I will never, ever spank my own kids. Ever.
