One WikiAnswerers opinion

I am quite sure she does not spank Cara or Mady. Kate does the timeouts and they actually seem to work pretty darned well. She does not spank Cara and Mady. If she even did one time in front of the cameras, imagine that would be the next big rumor and paparazzi deal. After all the divorce rumors. They really do not need that.
