There is a difference between a swat on the butt and a full out beating of a child. It does not hurt a kid to give them a tap on the rear at all. If you have to tell a child no more than three times, than that means that's not working.

Gonzales got in trouble because her spanking left red marks, and her daughter's paternal grandmother noticed.

Reading this, I don't know how many times she spanked her or for what but when I was little my dad IF he got to the point of spanking us, which he rarely had to do because if he yelled, we were scared enough of that, it was a pat on the butt. It never hurt and we only cried because we were in trouble. But leaving welts or red marks...that gets to be a little much. But some kids just don't fucking listen. I have friends where they have spanked their kid hard and the kid just laughs at them. I don't know - I think the government only steps in when it reaches child abuse and that is not a pat on the butt which is what a spanking should be.
