Should kids be spanked?

In the interests of full disclosure, I must preface this by saying that I failed miserably as a father. If you don’t believe me, ask my daughter. If you can find her.

Spanking is back in the news. A Tulane University study published Monday says that spanking toddlers resulted in their behaving more aggressively toward other children as they grew. The study claims that, even adjusting for other factors, such as parental neglect, depressed moms, and differences in innate aggression, children who were spanked were more likely to bully or hit their fellow kindergartners, and were destructive and disobedient.
