If children are brats, it's because their parents are. Yeah, some kids have certain mental-imbalances or whatever, so I fail to see how physical abuse particularly helps them learn or grow as people.
It's like the best teachers you had at school were the one's that never had to raise their voice to control any class, no matter what level of intelligence, and the worst were those who ranted and raved and only get laughed at.
Good parenting = No need for smacking.
Even if we remove ANY kind of justification for or against this issue, you're still left with the basic fact of a grown adult striking a child, which I personally find sort of sickening.
