Dear Auntie Karen: Should I spank my child?

Dear Auntie Karen,
I took your advice about not using hitting or slapping with my 5-year-old son, and read the article you recommended in Psychology Today on "This is what happens when you hit your kids".
I used positive reinforcement (the carrot, not the stick) and close supervision whenever he came into the kitchen and tried to pull pots of food off of the stove while they were cooking, and it worked like a charm!
Until last Friday. I left the kitchen for a moment to go to the bathroom (my son was in the living room watching TV) but someone he sneaked back into the kitchen.
The doctors say he'll live, but with scars over 60% of his body. Oh, and he lost all vision in his left eye, and 40% in his right eye. He will need repeated surgery over the next 10 years or so to reduce the scarring.
You know, I think I'd rather have taken the chance of causing him some kind of emotional harm in the future by swatting his bottom the first time I caught him trying to pull down a pot, than to have to deal with what actually happened last Friday.
I am going to stop reading your column, too.
Sincerely,
An Unhappy Mother in Tennessee

Dear Unhappy Mother in Tennessee,
I'm terribly sorry to hear what happened to your son. But I assure you that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES is it ever right to hit a little child!
Regards,
Auntie Karen

Dear Auntie Karen,
I said I wasn't going to read your column any more, but I did want to see if you replied to my letter. I only have one thing to say to you.
SCR*W YOU!

Dear Unhappy Mother in Tennessee,
Hey, nobody is perfect. Sh*t happens...
Regards,
Auntie Karen
