[Glenn E. Meyer]

Cease and desist describing how you might have disciplined your child with various forms of physical action and how you think it is a good thing.

Also, we are not interested in your theory of discipline.

There is a legal question of whether the force used by the parent is such a level that a physical response according to legal doctrine is supported.

So, let's say you misbehave in some fashion - would support a policeman taking the strap to you? Or if you made loud noises at a party, could the neighbors come over and take the strap to you? Or would you rack your shotgun and posture?
