It's because culture has changed, not the rules. As we learn about healthy parenting practices people are adopting new parenting methods, regardless of the law.
I don't think the law has changed much since I was a kid but the parenting trends have dramatically.
You're right about parenting trends have changed
These days, people seem to think that a parent hitting their kid when the kid misbehaves is "abuse" (hear it a lot on social media), even though many Asian and African countries do so in their households and the children come out well mannered (most of em), seems like mainly white people think that way
We got beat into submission, what else was going to happen? Misbehave and get beat some more? I was beat in my face as well
Where you beat into submission or where you taught that violence is an acceptable way to deal with your problems? And that as an adult hitting a kid is a good way to teach him anything.
