That's your opinion and you are welcomed to it. I completely disagree though and it's been an acceptable form of punishment throughout history. As long as it is infrequent and used correctly, it is a very healthy way of properly raising a child. If you go to far and too often then that's where problems begin. On the other side, if you don't discipline your children then that can be just as damaging for them.
I also would like to see corporal punishment become a part of our legal system like Singapore. For some offenses, I'd much rather have the justice system cane someone a few times instead of sentencing them to a jail for 6 months for some charges. Do it in a public setting and the crime rate will go down. It will also save a lot of tax payer money since we aren't jailing as many people. (Just caning, not cutting off hands like a few 3rd world countries)
