Today my son was running around the house try to bite our dog’s tail off so I took him outside and gave him a good whooping. He started screaming and crying that he wants to be adopted and that he is calling Child Protection Services. I feel like spanking a child instills fear so that he will not try to destroy the dog’s tail. Do you think I should be able to spank my child? He’s 10 years old if that helps at all.
