To Spank or not to Spank

In my opinion, I think spanking can be appropriate in some cases. According to http://www.toddlerstoday.com/articles/toddlers/to-spank-or-not-to-spank-3101/ some people have the same opinions as i do. I believe that in cases like a child trying to touch a hot stove or running out on the road then a spanking is better than the child being burned or being hit. At the age of a toddler, you cannot reason with children very easily. Until the age that you can, I think spanking is okay, as long as it is not done out of anger. In other, less serious cases, i believe other forms of punishment should be used.
