This is a legal forum, not a moral forumbut it is morally wrong to let your partner spank your child. i remember reading somewhere that children were more likely to be murdered by 'parental replacement figures' than by thier bio parents. for that reason alone, any person who is dating, living with or married to a parent should be emphatically told to keep their hands OFF the kids.
