I agree. I think parents should be held accountable for their minor children's behavior. Too many parents no days, do NO parenting at all and they dare anyone else to correct them.

I do not believe that you have to spank children to make them behave, I just think it is quicker an more affective.

if you have a 2 year old, that insists on running into traffic in a parking lot, your hands are full, and he won't listen. You cannot wait until you get home to do "time out". A swat on the behind gets the point across. An instant correction is more affective, than a lecture and time out.

Better to give a swat then to have them hit by a car.
