Started to 'die out' as an acceptable way to parent early this century?
Most people born before 2000 are approaching adulthood now. I used to see children having their legs and bottoms smacked as a child and teenager (born 1982) but now I rarely if ever see this in public (hear lots of verbal abuse though.)
Is it also unreasonable to think the higher the level of education of the parent the less likely they are to smack? (I know there will be exceptions before people say their mum has a PHD and they were smacked daily! I mean in general.)
