As I said, I don't know any that would.

Beating ? - nope, a smack across the hand with a cane is not beating - nor is it abuse - to suggest such a thing is an insult to children who really are beaten and/or abused.
Deliberately inflicting pain on a child is beyond contempt, it's made no better by condoning the use of an object for the purpose.

Still - if you want to talk about legalised beating and abuse then perhaps you should discuss boxing. Two people legally beating the crap out of each other - bizzarre.
That's got absolutely nothing to do with this thread whatsoever, both boxers are willing participants, unless of course you also know of children who are happy to receive a beating from an adult for money.
