Parents do not like smacking their child but we all know from experience that occasionally it can be necessary for their own sake. A totally different concept from child abuse.

Instead of meddling in the family lives of decent, hard-working families, maybe more time and energy could be spent in training social workers and other “professionals” so they can actually save a child from abuse or neglect.
