What is wrong with kids today?

I remember growing up if you got in trouble the neighbor would grab you up swat your butt and take you to your parents and you got a spanking. I don't fear my parents I respect them. If parents were allowed to be parents and do what is right for their child we wouldn't have half the hoodlums we do now. The state needs to back off. They need to worry about the kids not being watched by an adult, going with out food and other basic needs. The kids that are being abused are getting over looked. Kids know now a days they call CPS, child protective services, and say my parents are abusing me and they get picked up. Even though the "abuse" is they were told to clean room or had game system taken away or even to eat their veggies.
A spanking and I mean just a spanking on the butt will show them that they can not act in the manner they have been. Time out work for some kids but not all. Its finding what works for your child. Be the parent don't let your child rule you. It takes time and effort but so does raising a respectful well rounded child.
