THE ULTIMATE REALITY
Discussed how spanking is regarded as child abuse to some people. The difference between happy, well-adjusted children and their opposites has, in my view, precious little to do with the presence or absence of spanking. It has everything to do with the presence or absence of love. I wouldn’t urge that parents who are capable of exerting discipline in other ways should spank their children because my parents spanked me. I argue only that the denial of love is the ultimate brutality. From Lack of Love Is Ultimate “Spanking”, by William Raspberry, WSJ, April 4, 1989
