I guess I need to say at this point that most of us in the business, as a general rule, find physical interventions, hitting, slapping, spanking, belts, boards, chains, wrenches ("...the wrench, why the wrench? Because fuck him that's why."), pushups, situps, running in place, any sort of physical punishment as completely and utterly unnecessary, and in the long run...counter productive. It's also psychic trauma. And in many, if not most cases, abusive. What millions of American parents do to their own children every day would get their ass thrown in jail were they to do the same to somebody else's children, first offense.
But there are a very limited number of exceptions...and this is one of them. Sometimes it's this or your kid ends up with a bullet in the top of his head, his spine severed, shot in the back 8 times, or choked to death on the street. Good on momma.
