My dad's step father was abusive and my dad has a divot in his shoulder where a big chunk of meat just came out from being beaten. He has scars on the back of his legs too.

And i want to believe that their parents didn't set out on purpose to savagely beat them, but i'm sure along the way it just happened and in the heat of the moment they could not stop themselves until after major harm was inflicted.

That's why i think it's probably good that parents aren't still beating / whipping their children like back in the old days.

I am against abuse as I was abused also. A whack in the butt with a paddle will suffice. I knew many a kid where one swat one time was all they needed.
