Although the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) strongly discourages spanking, at least half of parents admit to physically punishing their children. Some research suggests that as many as 70-90 percent of mothers have resorted to spanking at one time or another.

That means that 93 percent does not... just sayin
Some suggested that time out is more humane than sending criminals to prison.
My experience is that some strong willed kids need more intervention than calmer personalities. Age of parent/child, economics, support, play a role as well. Times have changed. Bullying, entitlement, and disrespect are epidemic. We are also more educated and have more resources now than 10-20 years ago.
I come across very educated people, financially secure, who do not believe in "spanking", they would never be caught beating their kids, however, their kids are on a short leash and the stepson is held at the collar. Abuse, anyway you spin it is wrong.
We can help.
