Yes they should when your not around it should be up to the other adults in the area to discipline your children if they step out of line. You can't just leave them then when they start running around and screaming, setting things on fire and so on complain when they get smacked and yelled at.

Well in my country, even the parents are not allowed to smack kids :/

This included a light tap, that is considered abuse and a parent can be jailed, or lose their child for repeat offenses. Stupid isn't it. I am against smacking in general, but it's up to the parent. Obviously abuse is abuse, but smacking... they aren't even allowed to pick up their child and carry them to time-out or anything.

As for strangers, I don't think they are entitled to smack another's child without expressed consent from the parent. The parent may be completely against this method of discipline.

It's ridiculous 'Hay i let my kid run around the house all day and let him stay up to 1 in the morning. Whenever were out in public he screams non-stop and hits random people. I'm really afraid now because he found the match boxes yesterday and nearly burned the house down. He's constantly yelling at me to (*)(*)(*)(*) off and hitting me and i can never get him to do what i want but hey at least i don't hit him, that would REALLY screw him up.'

Spanking has been tested by time all the generations of children who were to be seen and not heard turned out absolutely FINE. Its time out thats the real wild card when it comes to raising kids!

Parenting belongs to the parents , I don't care what they are doing no one else touches my kids! The Parents need to do their job not the village .
