How old would the child have to be before you spanked it? Why would you spank it?
how can i speak for every parent.  how can i make up an age?
its a common sense thing.  and each parent knows their child better than the government.

One would think that the parents would defend their kids, then, instead of having the government do it for them. For not so long time ago, an autistic kid who "didn't listen to his parents" because the instructions were overly verbal could count on being spanked regularly.

Does someone still think this is the right thing to do?

i don't understand what you ae saying.

Perfectly simple: for some years ago, it was considered to be perfectly OK to spank a child that wouldn't listen to his parents. Many autistic kids have problems following overly verbal instructions so they won't do what they're told. Is it right to spank a kid that isn't able to follow your instructions?

Or consider an autie kid having a public meltdown. Would you spank that kid? Lots of parents would because they don't know better.

autistic children, it is said, have a high pain threshhold.
what stupid parents to continue to spank a child, as punishment, when the child barely responds to that stimuli.
restrict them from their special interest.

see how common sense parenting works?

I do.  I have spanked my daughter before and I think it was the right thing to do under the circumstances.

She used to run out into traffic suddenly and unpredictably and my husband and I had to break that bad habit before she was hit by a car.

The other time I had spanked her was to enforce her going to time-out when she was sent there.  

If she refused to go to time-out, I would ask her, "Do you want to go to time-out with a spanking or no spanking?"

You can't speak with most Swedes about this. I'm one of the few exceptions. Everything should be solved with no-violence according to the "Swedish model"--but experience has shown that everybody just can't be talked into sense about everything.

I have not spanked my daughter while she was having a meltdown, but I have physically restrained her to keep her from hurting anyone.

I noticed, but God knows I've tried to, with you.
