My parents, deeply Christian but still good California liberals, experienced the cultural change in the middle of their child raising. My sister was spanked and I was not. I suspect they still feel guilty. But the ground shifted right under them.

I would be hesitant to tell anyone I spanked a child because...maybe it's *technically* not illegal, but you don't have to do anything illegal to have your kids taken away. Better not to admit to any non-standard parenting practices
