Because most Parents don't deserve respect.

And no, beating your kids and making them afraid of you is not repect, its fear, and they still won't respect you, but you can feel safe with the hillbilly mentality that a beaten kid is a good kid.

Corporal punishment is many times the only effective way to punish a child.  What do you do to a creative five year old?  I'm taking your toys away?  So what?  He'll go have fun playing pretend in the corner.
