<<There is no real scientific evidence to point towards in which an occasional spanking is considered harmful to a child. So what gives you the right to arrest another parent and put them jail for not adhearing to a certain way of child rearing? Child abuse has been shown to damage a child. An occasional spanking has not.>> Michael, in the Canadian study of spanking, leading to adults with increased rates of alcoholism, drug abuse and depression, it was not a study of children who had been abused, just spanked. So you cannot really say that an occasional spanking is not harmful to children. Alcoholism, drug addiction and depression all cost societies a lot in terms of lower productivity, increased medical costs, etc.
