I would get a spanking from a neighbor and hope my parents didn’t find out, or I’d get another one. Now doctors just give misbehaving kids Zombie pills and give it a fancy name. And the authorities can’t figure out why our prisons are filling up so fast.
Serious comment: Beating kids doesn’t teach them that they did something wrong, it just teaches them that it’s wrong to get caught. Explanations are better than abuse.
It was after World War II that college egg-heads started teaching parents they should not spank their kids. We then had the leather-jacket thugs,(Fonzi is a myth), the hippies, the punk-rockers, and the skin-heads! I rest my case!

Mickey Mantle played from 1951-68 so this had to be written some time between those years.
