I think it's a little ironic, that the 'tough love' system will allow you to 
handcuff your child to the bed or lock that child in a room for that child's 
own good, such as to keep the  child off the streets and away from bad 
influences that are near, but spank a child or say that you approve of 
spanking a child and suddenly it's a capital crime?
