Going to have to agree here. The world and system on how we raise our kids is getting pussified.
I threw a fit in public when I was a kid I got my ass beat and everyone in the store knew it and knew I deserved it. You do that shit today you get CPS called on you and your kid taken.
Hell, you cant even do a simple bottom pat anymore to let your kid know, with out people giving you a dirty look.

I HATE the Blue Ribbon Society we've got now. Not everyone needs a participation ribbon, seriously. Who cares if the child is upset? They'll get over it.
/em shakes head.
I have no idea why spanking is such an issue nowadays. I know in Sweden that sort of stuff is banned, and their rates of childhood delinquency, suicide, and dropouts have declined greatly since the ban was put in place, but I doubt that would have an effect on attitudes in the rest of the developed world. /shrug.
In regards to CPS, I don't know how it is in the States, but here in Canada the Child Social Services agencies look for a pattern of abuse (e.g., a pattern of physical and emotional abuse towards a child) that is not related to a form of punishment (within reason). Spanking once in a while? CPS won't do anything. Spiral fracture? Improperly healed bones? Injuries that go unreported? Then they'll step in.
