Today I heard a parent berating their child. The parent said to the child "God, you're so fucking stupid!" And then spanked the child. People nearby said it's okay to spank the child cause no serious harm will be done to the child by a simple spank

It is NEVER okay to treat another person in such a manner. Physically or emotionally abusive behaviors like berating, humiliating, or spanking children will have long-lasting effects. Instead of solving the issue at hand, this type of discipline can traumatize children, leading to low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and other serious mental health problems.
