Today I heard a parent berating their child. The parent said to the child "God, you're so fucking stupid!" And then spanked the child. People nearby said it's okay to spank the child cause no serious harm will be done to the child by a simple spank

It is certainly not okay to humiliate and belittle a child like that, no matter how hard it may be physically. Spanking could potentially cause psychological harm to the child and does not necessarily ensure there will be "no serious harm".

Spanking is not a suitable form of discipline and may actually do more harm than good. There are many other forms of positive guidance, including verbal correction, which should be used as alternatives to physical punishment. Children must be taught about the effect their words and actions have on others, and it's up to adults to model appropriate language. Physical punishment sends a message that aggression is acceptable, especially in cases when someone is feeling emotional or overwhelmed.
