Everytime I see one of those unruly kids when I am out, my eyes search (usually in vain) for their caregiver/guardian/parent because I want to say to them "WHY are you letting this kid behave this way?!?"
If I had behaved like them when I was young, my mother would have smacked my head into last week!
I certainly don't advocate it for all aged kids and for all offenses, but there are times when a smack on the bottom is just what is called for.
I was spanked/smacked probably about 4 times in total growing up. I have spanked my son about twice I think...and now all I have to do is give him a look and he KNOWS he better straighten up.
I think it was Bill Cosby that said 'I brought you into this world, and I can take you out...and make another one that looks just like you!'
