Spanking is indeed corporal punishment and in many countries it's now considered domestic violence / abusive behavior.

I don't agree that spanking is a panacea for misbehavior; however under exceptional circumstances with young children, it has its place. It should only be used as a last resort, and used very sparingly so that long term psychological damage doesn't occur.

For the record I was spanked only once as I recall. My parents used logic and psychology to ensure I grew up with self discipline.
