The problem wasn't that he wasn't being spanked, he was spoiled. His parents catered to everything he wanted. What do you expect? It's not as extreme as some kinds of abuse and neglect but is detrimental to children all the same. Had he learned some life-lessons earlier in life, he wouldn't be in a position to be hit now.
