Cofty and a few others agree that hitting a child is never acceptable.
Myself and a few others believe that is talking doesn't help a spanking just might be in order.

No you can't smack an adult with learning difficulties, it is of my belief that it's so obvious why you cannot, once again, I think the answer is quite obvious, not everyone, I think it's obvious. But then there is that scripture that says "spare the rod spoil the child" I don't agree with many old, steadfast rules but I do agree with one. Someone on the editorial page of a local newspaper this week said that if that rule were practiced more often perhaps the jails wouldn't be so overcrowded. I think there just might be a small piece of truth to that statement.
