Parents who resort to corporal punishment for their children are small-minded.
Their child is behaving in a manner they don’t approve of or understand, so instead of being clever/empathetic about how they approach the issue, they break out the belt and start beating and screaming at them.
I don’t even want to say there are other ways to deal with child disipline, because that would legitimize this punishment as a legit option.
Physical violence is the response of the cruel, the weak-minded, the sociopath, the criminal.
