Spanking kids can be effective....up to a point. If the kid does get hurt in the process: Bruises, cuts, soreness, then you did something wrong, and should stop immediately. Plus there are better ways to punish, make them feel guilty for what they done. i.e. take away the car/keys, toys, make them do heavy chores. Something that will make them think twice before doing it again.
