Will you ever smack your child?

Lets just say there was a valid reason. Can this be considered as abuse if it only happened once?

Damn straight. Big difference between discipline and abuse. Time out is bullshit and does not help the child. Same theory as "participation trophies", I hate that shit.

I rarely "spanked" my kids, but when I did, they deserved it. We are very close now they are grown and they turned out well, I couldn't be more proud.

Don't coddle your kids, the world certainly won't!!

@SW-User You know what is so sad? When the kids turn to crime and other unruly behaviour people are so quick to blame a childs upbringing, but when one spanks a child to discipline its easily judged as child abuse.

@WildHeart absolutely right.
