Child Discipline - Should Spanking be Used?

A Texas Justice of the Peace gave parents the option of paddling their 14 year old daughter or a $500 fine and a misdemeanor record. They chose paddling.

Are these parents justified and should corporal punishment be used to discipline children? That story is the topic of conversation in The Virtual Living Room.  Listen in, this will be an interesting conversation.
