Just recently, I have noticed A LOT of parents giving their kids whacks on the butt in stores & whatnot. I don't know if its just my area...I live in NC...is this something that most parents are doing all over the place???

I think parents spank all over the place, but I have noticed it more in NC.<br><br>
It is freaky isn't it. I have also noticed parents with their children UNBUCKLED in the car, more here that anywhere else.
