The bible says that God chastises all of us. Abused or not we all get it from God now and again. The Bible says rebellion is in the heart of a child and the rod of correction drives it far from him. While we must be vigilant to oppose abuse, we must also be vigilant to apply some rod when necessary. It is nice to see that someone is not ashamed of discipline.
It reminds me of the American boy who vandalized a car in an oriental country and was sentenced to lashing with cane. Many here in the US were appalled. Even the Chief Executive wound up involved a bit. We have become a more rebellious people since we decided that spanking is a bad thing. We reap what we sow. Good for grampa.
