I've rarely, if ever, seen people spank their children for their own good. Mostly, it's done because the child is annoying the adult somehow. If you want a good test to see how people will behave physically towards their children, watch how they treat pets. They generally treat each the same way. I still see it as a bad idea. It never helped me as a kid. It taught me not to piss off my parents and to be sneakier. I don't recall any life lessons coming to me through being swatted for being too loud or running around in a store.
