If anyone besides me or my wife were to ever spank my daughter I would give them a very serious beat down.

I believe in spanking kids. I have spanked my daughter on a couple of occassions. But I dont want some piece of crap adult who is probably a hypocrite anyways laying a hand on my kid.

Parents should have accountability for their kids. If my child ends up being a total class clown in school then I WOULD deserve some accountability. The school for instance could choose to suspend or expel my child. They could even call me up and (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) me out for being a lousy parent.

My job as a parent is to teach my child the proper way to act in public. Hopefully I have done that. However no matter how idiotic a kid is acting you DONT lay a hand on them unless you have full permission and authorization from the parents...

And nobody besides my wife and maybe my mom and dad have that sort of permission.
