Of course you can spank 'em, but if you get reported, you better be prepared. Child abuse laws in this state are something else. They're a tad ridiculous, imo. Kids are automatically appointed lawyers if a report of child abuse comes in, at the expense of the parent.

I don't think I could ever spank a kid, but I don't have them, so I can't say.
