OOC: That's ironic nik, I got the shiz beat out of me by my dad on a daily basis (alot of the time just randomly without reason) and I didn't respect anyone!
I think spanking a 5 yr old could be somewhat appropriate for a 5 year old, but I don't think that should be the immediate approach. Different things work for different kids, and if a spanking every now and then does it, then hey, that's what works. Beatings however, are inexcusable. I don't care how bad the kid has acted.
