Now, it would be a whole different story if she was beating her children with a stick or a belt or backhanding them across the face. That, IMO, qualifies as corporal punishment. Heck, a swat on the rear doesn't even qualify as a "spanking" as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks afterschoolmom, this is the exact point I was trying to make.
