I don't recall my parents ever striking me. But, that's probably because I've been concussed so frequently.
Since both my parents worked, I did have baby sitters who were redneck animals and illiterate farmers. The "granny" used to force me to go out into her yard and select my switch. I learned early on to choose the largest log I could find which inhibited her ability to wield the weapon effectively and didn't sting. I guarantee you that, in this day and age, she would be imprisoned ... if not for child abuse, certainly for stupidity.
