It works everytime.

I agree, it has gone too far when strangers try to tell a parent they can't disciplne their child. There's an old saying [ I brought you in this world, I'll take you out.] But good parents don't mean the last part, it's a threat. There is a big difference between a spanking and a beating. But if you don't let your child know boundaries then you are screwed because they will walk all over you. When my two kids use to fight, Iwould take them to a store and make them hold hands the whole time. I would have a belt around my neck, IO would tell them you drop hands and I will nail you in front of everyone. And I would have too.
