Spanking, which by I mean swatting your child on the butt ONE TIME, can be debated on effectiveness but I'd never do it to my boys no matter what they do...you parent your way and I'll parent my TYVM. But when multiple hits come, or an object is used; that is abuse. And it doesn't surprise me he was "raised that way in Texas". Abuse begets abuse, and he is extending the cycle.
