Spanking did work for me. Yes, I was scared to act out because of it. But it wasn't intimidation, because I knew it was out of love. I was old enough to comprehend that. Sometimes the threat of taking away my Nintendo wasn't enough, or I would act out further when it was taken away. This all stopped when I grew to be around 8.

My brother in law however. He'd get closed fist punches to the face simply for saying "not right now" when he was told to do something. When he was 12, he fought back, and the fight ensued for a very long time. But he wasn't abused per se, because I know his family well, and it's a very, very loving family. He'll tell you it worked. It shaped him into what he is today, and I he doesn't have any emotional problems.
