Not in favour of corporal punishment on the hands of children and youths. Too much risk of permanent damage, even with a ruler. I got the cane on my hands at school a couple of times and one time there was nerve damage for months. But we mainly had to bend over for the cane, and though it hurt like crazy, and left bad bruises, they were gone in a week or so - never any permanent damage.
