If they are the ones doing the spanking (from permission of a parent) it is fine otherwise you probably don't want to watch the child being spanked First and foremost spanking is child abuse, There is no rationale for a child to be disciplined this way. Sitters should never, ever spank a child under any circumstances, It is child abuse.
