I trust my mother. I trust my siblings. I trust my wife. But there is no world in which I would be "fine" with any of them jerking my daughter by the hair.
It's not making the kid tough, but simply identifies the jerk with impulse control issues. I have three kids and never hit any of them -- I'm sure as hell not going to let some coach on a power trip do so. I'm not against corporal punishment per se, but having consistently received smacks to the face at home and swats at school I can tell you that the only thing I "learned" from the violence is to avoid the assholes that used to hit me.
