It's something you don't hear as much about, at least since I was a kid - but is spanking abuse or not abuse?

According to WZZM, over the past few decades there has been a huge debate on if parents should spank their child as a form of discipline.

WZZM recently did a survey where 78% of those surveyed said that spanking is an acceptable form of discipline.

The AAP says that spanking "increases aggression in young children in the long run and is ineffective in teaching a child responsibility and self-control."
